A robot that answers tenants' and prospectives' calls, goes out and does the showings and fixes the plumbing leak, and then brings back the rent checks.It doesn't need to be able to deposit the checks, I enjoy doing that myself :)

So now you aren't reading directly from your script, your just filling in answers on a lead sheet or on an app on your phone/tablet/computer.You do have to become very familiar with what is contained on the script, so you are not "Umming" & "Awing" and sounding like a robot reading something.

I am new to posting on BiggerPockets, but I've explored the forums and podcasts.I just moved to Dallas, TX and am currently a Mechanical Engineer for a robotics company, but have always been interested in REI.

Just saying there are multiple factors in decision making because we are humans not robots.
