I think most of us have chosen to focus our (collective and individual) efforts on that which can be effectively dealt with, rather than being a voice in the wilderness.

We can talk all we want about differences in A/B/C class properties and that most people are good human beings and just looking to find their next home, but even if there's a 1 in 1000 chance of running into a serial killer with a nice voice on the phone why would any owner/Realtor/agent/PM take that chance? 

Most leases need to be local to the state you're operating in, so double check the lease you have works in your state. 5) Set up a google voice account (vanity phone number) and email account so that tenants can call/text you not using your own cell phone number and email.

I have to leave voice mail everytime and wait for them to call me back if they ever do call me back.They do reply to email but I got more confused on the email and can't get anyone on the phone 80% of the time once I become their client .
