More in the "do the dumbest things" category....We get a frantic 11:30 pm call from an elderly tenant crying incoherently but after several minutes my wife determined it was because water was 'pouring' in the bedroom window.My wife distinctly asked her several times if our maintenance guy was called & if he was there as he was not answering his cell. 

Not saying all but a big percentage.50 to 60 year olds might have a cell phone and be on the computer30 to 40 year old familiar with zoom meetings, texting, cell phone, computerskids to 20 year olds embracing group text, videos, all emerging technology etc.Of course this is not an absolute but in general as the age goes up the use of technology goes down.I could retire today if I wanted to and live off of the money the rest of my life. 48 years old now.Any industry out there has a certain golden age run up where those get in with the right timing and determination can do something magical.

Wall Street thought we were going to get six- eight rate reductions this year we’ve seen none so far and stagflation is setting in , the Fed is trapped , if they reduce rates now , inflation could catch on fire if they increase them again too much something in the economy will break I think we’re in this holding pattern for one to two years personally, I don’t claim to be a macro economic expert, but I do study it quite a bit and I’m not counting on or expecting rates to come down anytime soon and even if they do, they’ll just be small quarter-point rate hikes not enough to make a huge difference in cashflow, so ..I either hold and if they do decrease rates, there will  probably be another asset inflation bubble, which will increase my appreciation, or my cell and deploy the capital more wisely and look for some market softening and buy a good deal

They can send you videos or photos on turnover bnb or your cell phone when the property is complete to show they are done and checked everything off the list.

I caved this morning and used my cell #, and received the call just fine.

Their priority is to get their car loan and cell phone bill paid..or else!

If applying requires more than two brain cells and one minute of their time, you'll eliminate a lot of the lookers.I recommend a syndication software.
