Most people have cell phones nowadays.

That's why as landlords we need to be informed, know what our state landlord tenant laws are and make sure when we do file for eviction we are not wasting the courts time. and we have our paperwork in order and have done what it takes to try and reason with the tenants prior to filing.We had a nightmare tenant about 20 years ago, lived on 3rd floor, his favorite method was to overfill the bathtub, my dad camped out in the hallway after the sheriff served him,so he could shut off the water main and be next to the fire extinguisher if needed, was well before he had a cell phone and he had a emergency phone installed in basement just because of this guy so he could call for assistance if needed.

A Series LLC is an entity that can replicate itself into seperate cells.

These tenants love their big fat clawfoot tub, so I’ll fix it up and keep it - and I appreciate everybody’s feedback.

T-12 actual expenses are 39% but there's a lot of fat to be trimmed in maintenance and water.

We own this property in a standalone LLC, with our 1/3 interest being held in a cell of our own series LLC.On a positive note, we conservatively underwrote this at a 9 cap, optimistically at an 8 cap. 

Another option would be to go with a DST - the DST will save you money in the long term and will help with minimizing liability if you decide to scale with additional properties (each asset could go into its own cell to isolate from other properties and any associated liability).

As far as I'm aware I haven't seen a mass SMS option that can use your personal cell number, but several options like Batchleads for example that can do so from a virtual cell phone number.

Granted, lots of tech was fat trimming it's also prohibitive to (some) degree for growth.

I've been able to automate most of the pricing and customer service (messaging) using the services described above, to the point where I only spend 30 minutes a week managing things (on my cell phone).Hope this helps!
