If he's honestly looking to unload a group of rental homes to a cold caller, I doubt you are the only person he's mentioned this to.

I will be hiring a VA and plan on forwarding the voice mail messages to the VA.What's the best way for the VA to make outbound calls if I want the caller ID number to show the local area code?

I give callers a rundown of the high points of my criteria - verifiable income 3X rent, no evictions (ever), no felonies in the last five years, no more than two misdemeanors in the last five years, verifiable rental history.

Which is fine at the beginning, but after 2 months of giving guidance on what to say to callers, there is some expectation that they would begin to speak to those callers themselves.

I tell all callers the same time, usually on a Saturday or Sunday.

(I can just imagine mommy rolling her eyes every time she sees his phone number come across her caller ID and yet another voicemail from him -remember, the owner lives with his mother now that his house is inhabitable).Are you kidding me??!!

'Hello BP, first time caller..

The caller asked if I had a minimum income requirement, I asked why and she said most do.

I work during the day, so I wanted to be able to send callers to a voicemail service if they call me so they can leave a voicemail.

In regards to the last-name searching on the courts website, I have been using this to pre-screen some of my callers on the newly-turned over apartment..
