For emergencies, a lot of owners set up a dedicated line that forwards to either themselves or a rotation (like Google Voice or a call service) so tenants have one number to use, but you’re not tied to your personal phone 24/7.

It would be like trying to make friends with people, in person, when they are using a voice changer and wearing masks. 

Discord is a chat service that is essentially invite only and allows for both text chatting via customizable channels plus impromptu and scheduled voice/video/screenshare calls.

For example, a thoughtfully designed Voice AI agent (not an avatar, but a human-sounding voice) can help qualify leads, answer basic questions, and schedule appointments, freeing up more of your time for those meaningful, “belly to belly” connections you mentioned.I’ve been working with a voice AI agent that does exactly that: it handles the repetitive, time-consuming outreach, but always transfers the conversation to a real human when it’s time to build a real relationship or negotiate.

Their LLC filing is very new in California.

Most people are sleeping on AI - or stopping at ChatGPT.Just like the early days of Google and Facebook ads, the investors who adopt AI now are going to move way faster than everyone else.For me, Voice AI has been the biggest game-changer.

I have spoken with some attorneys that think it will not go anywhere but I would hate to end up like how Cleveland is.Columbus City Council considers creating registry of rental properties - https://www.wosu.org/politics-government/2025-09-16/columbus-city-council-considers-creating-registry-of-rental-propertiesProposal - https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/city-council/documents/hearing-documents/bankston/rental-registry-proposal-comparative-chart-and-summary-11-5-25.pdfRegister to speak at the hearing this coming Tuesday - https://us.openforms.com/Form/8a746076-35c8-40e7-a786-79bd2c7e0244@James Wise Yup we've got that in Cleveland and most all of the suburbs.

File a criminal complaint and send it to the DOJ.

Some chat agents can answer general FAQs, while others can actually qualify leads, book appointments, and follow up automatically.I built Pathwaize, which includes AI voice, and for the website chat and click-to-voice agents that are trained REI agents, so they can talk with motivated sellers, screen leads, or even respond to common questions.The key is training it on your process, language, and data.

And maybe one day, say 6 months from now, maybe you can actually file it, it will then take you another year to get rid of that tenant.
