My first question would be: are these things making the phone ring?

For reference, we have a duplex north of 70 on lilley ave that we get $1400 a month per unit, its 2 bed 1.5 bath, but its completely rehabbed, we are pet friendly, we provide Ring doorbells, security cameras and security system for each unit, and the rent includes water, trash, sewer. 

And if it turns out you've made a mistake on a tenant, the legislative headwinds make it very difficult to un-ring that bell and terminate that business relationship. 

I currently use Ring Central which allows me to get a local and 1800 number using voip so I don't have to pay for international calls but I'm not happy with their service.  

Almost any card will make the phone ring.  

Sounds awesome; What time should i give you a ring? 

Quote from @Mike Hern: Quote from @Noah Laker: Hey BP, with all the buzz about to-AirBnB or not-to-AirBnB, I wanted to throw my hat in the ring and introduce myself.I am a real estate broker and investor in Northern California.

My phone is still ringing weekly from my mailings.

I then set followup sequences inside of my CRM which notifies me when it's time to give a cold lead a ring again.I've seen my response rate go from a 1-2% with direct mail alone, to around a 4-7% increase when i added cold calling.The beautiful thing is this entire process is now outsourced and it makes my business more profitable and gives me more time during the day.

The best cure is to get out and start doing deals.Choose one marketing strategy and own it to get the phone ringing.Once the phone rings the ball will start rolling and you will begin to learn more and have even more questions but thats what BP is for.
