This was back before cell phones so before heading home after a showing I'd have to go to a nearby phone booth and check my messages.

For example, if you want to buy single family ranges in a particular town, that narrows the search down and then you can move on onto step 3Step 3: Find contact info for every one of these people: cell phone, home phone, emails, social media profile, home address, etcStep 4: Put the information into a database: I like using a CRM like Follow Up Boss, but you can use an excel sheet to startStep 5: Market to these people: call(on a dialer), email, message on social media, door knock, mail, etc. until you get one on one appointments with them

Use a voicemail/phone management service so they don't have your home or cell phone number.Get a good lease, make sure all provisions meet the type of property you have then get a lawyer to look it over.Lastly, never tell them you are the owner.  

One of my first thoughts would be to have an Outlook calendar for the maintenance crew so that they can check their schedule on their cell phones via Google Calendar-Outlook Calendar synching.

hey @Taylor Howes The best piece of advice I heard lately about business cards is don't use them.You are much more likely to get an interaction, response or call back from a person if you can convince them to put your name and number in their cell phone directory.Follow that up with a short little text along the lines of "Hi, this is Taylor, now that we've talked please feel to contact me if you need anything - OK?"

Call me and I'll give you his cell phone number.706-818-3359.

.$21,000....WOW.It sold three years ago for over $300,000Times do change.The experiences above were, beforeMLS, fax machines, cell phones all the other "toys of today" If you wanted to show a listing of another company youhad to drive over to their office to get thekey, show the property, and have the key back within two hours, or they wouldNOT allow you to show any of their otherlistings again.

You can ALWAYS get via email or cell phone.

I'm just wondering what a fair split would be if he were to put up all the money and "be there for me" when I need help with the process (i.e. calling his cellphone) while I'm there all day managing the crews and pitching in for whatever needs to be done..

I own ROYOT Cellular, a low-cost cell phone service vendor for real estate companies.
