Out of State Investors and Google Voice

[Ronda R.]

I just read a post by a California investor investing out of state. They said that when people found out they were from California the price always seemed to go up. I was running into the same thing. One of my contractors always told me "Don't tell anyone you don't live here! They are going to charge you more."

Solution: I got a google voice number with the area code of my investment properties. I am in California, my properties are in Ohio. My google number forwards to my cell phone and always announces itself that I have a caller calling from my google number. I can then choose to answer or let it go to voice mail.

You can also download a google voice app and then you can call out from that same google voice number. It's free. Most of you probably already know about it but I hope it helps someone.
