?!?!WHAT ARE YOUR SYSTEMS IN PLACE?!?!

Hey All,

Hope everyone is doing great in their real estate ventures!!

As we begin to close out 2018. Ive began to reflect on the year, while I haven't posted in a while, the one thing that has kept popping up most of the year, which is....

The ungodly amount of phone calls that I receive on a daily basis. Quick background I co-own/manage 192 multi family units. This is my full time job so the time is there and I do know how to do almost all of our reno's and fixes. However the problem I'm having is that every time i start to get into a grove for the day, the phone decides to non-stop ring. with problems ranging from backed up toilet, to my light bulb in my bathroom is out. 

So the big question I have is do any fellow landlords out there use any type of app or program for your phone that allows you to set up a sort of "Mock" business line. I mean this in the sense that if someone called it goes to auto answer with a telepromt that says press 1 for maintenance, 2 for lease and rent and etc... this way the tenant is able to make their voice and problem heard but i don't have to sit and have small talk and constantly stop what im doing to answer a phone call that in all reality shouldn't have been made. I have the new iPhone Xs so i believe i heard your able to get two lines on one phone now but the problem is i don't want just another line that i have to answer i need help sorting through the real calls that need attention from those frivioulos 8pm phone calls that they saw a squirrel climbing on the gutter. 

PS I know the obviously solution is to hire someone to answer phones, but for 35-40k a year Id much rather find an alternate solution.

Thanks All!
