Taking Seller Calls Live vs Lifestyle Design

Question for the wholesalers out there who have their businesses systematized with the ability to scale:

Do you take all the seller calls live, or let them go to voicemail, an answering service, or a VA? I have heard some top dogs suggest that you should always take seller calls live, when they are the hottest to sell, and I understand the reasoning. But the thought of my phone ringing 24/7 and trying to take all those calls isn't that appealing. At the end of the day, I'll take all the calls if that's what needs to happen to get the job done, but I would really like to figure out a way to remove myself from the equation.

The only things I can think of is to either hire an answering service (lose personal touch), hire a VA (lose personal touch), or hire an in-house sales rep (now responsible for an employee). Not trying to sound negative, just trying to create a more passive business model if possible.

Has anyone figured this out? Any and all feedback is appreciated.
