I wanted to voice my hesitations using these methods across the forum and see what others think about this.Timeframe – It seems like many of the threads that use this guide line started 5-8 years ago… when interest rates were 5-8% and not the 3.5-4.5% that they have been hovering around the last couple years.

I don't even take direct phone calls anymore - I use Google Voice to screen and transcribe all messages for me.

Get a Google phone number to handle your incoming prospective renter calls (the voice calls will also be trancoded to text and forwarded to an email address of your choice - sometimes messages get lost in translation so its good that you also have the actual message to listen to at your convenience).

Used google voice last campaign and was not impressed.

Find a newer RE photographer who is willing to split the cost of this advertising---it will greatly benefit the both of you.Target commercial brokers...they are more willing to pay to market properties.Ask the desk who they use for photographers, call them and offer services.Offer services on fiverr.com I have seen many voice-over gigs offered. 

The tone-pitch of your voice has to be going down instead of up.In the 70’s was a wonderful actor called Peter Falk he was in his 40s of the time, how to show call Colombo.

Or not answer the calls and let them go to voice mail.  

The way I handled calls was by phone voice mail.

The water main break is affecting an office building that really needs some kind of working toilet.I've already contacted Grogan Sani Services (Thanks @Todd Whiddon) but it went to voice mail.Thanks!

But when you think about backing out, and there's a little voice telling you that it isn't so bad a deal, then go for it and make the best of it, as long as you don't beat yourself up over it.
