Post: Air AI - cold calling system

Been looking into these AI call systems too so would love to hear perspectives as well. I had a call with Simpletalk a few months ago and seemed pretty interesting but haven't pulled the trigger yet as it is costly.
I know services do white labels and people brand it into their own AI call services, which mean a lot of these AI calls may actually be the same service...
How much does Air AI cost?

Don't know of realtors there but I love the mindset! I learned the most from doing deals the most than watching podcasts so totally agree.
You should be able to find more agents if you click on the "agents" tab on BiggerPockets

1 - Do you own other assets that you can leverage to get out of this? Other rentals with equity you can use?
2 - What kind of loan do you have one the 2 SF right now? If the rate is low you'd be much better off finding solutions other than refi (pulling personal loans, second position
Also, what's your credit looking like? I know most long term rental loans want to see FICO at least in the high 600's to do 75%. You could possibly explore a bridge loan up to 75% LTV if your credit doesn't qualify for 75% 30 year loans.

If you are willing to put in the work, I don't think it hurts you to become a realtor. You get to make offers on your own and potentially save on buyer's commission.
I wouldn't recommend if you already have an active income that is serving you well because it would be better to invest time in that endeavor if that's the case. Otherwise, I think it's a good initiative!

When you say without luck, what's been the biggest bottleneck? Paid mentorships can work but a lot of people here should be able to help with specific questions for free
