I have found a property downtown that I am extremely interested in, it has 42 apartments, 6 retail storefronts, 8 office suites, it comes with a cell tower and a billboard on top as well, so the potential for extra income. 

The phone number on my business card (a 404 number)  is powered by Google Voice and forwards to my cell phone.I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you, but I wanted to chime in as I am sure the service is available in our area.I wish you all the best with your ventures.

I'm going to say what nobody seems to say.If you aren't part of the political "in crowd" there, chances are you're due diligence efforts are going to be wasted.If you are talking to receptionists,,,,,,,,,,The guys who get there deals done, have the real decision makers private cell phone numbers, and know each other on a close first name basis

I suggest building your own so you understand what each cell means, but feel free to check out and play with my product here: Rent vs.

Getting rid of low rent tenants is like getting rid of cancer.

The cells for those numbers get colored based on the answers (see table below).

I am kind of pondering whether to do VM or direct to cell phone via Google Voice (I'll take suggestions on another service like Cricket) and also whether to have a 1800 number or local number. 

I think Seneca and other Stoics should be required reading for investors on BP.For instance, a weekend a month (1-2 days) just wearing the same t-shirt and jeans, eating rice and beans for every meal, and not using a cell phone, while repeating to yourself "is this the life I have so feared?".

It looks like the owner, who was a carpenter, developed cancer and maybe then got sicker, ran out of money and then died, leaving it like this.I am trying to estimate rehab costs, but fixing a warped floor, I don't know how much that would cost. 

You know you are a landlord when you have over 40 phone numbers programmed in your cell phone and only 4 of them are family and friends.You know you are a Landlord when you and your family go for a Sunday drive but it's to check out your properties to see how your tenants are doing.You know you are a landlord when you choose your new boyfriend or husband by his maintenance skills.You know you are a landlord when you watch Judge Judy and the tenants are using the same lines as your own tenants.You know you are a landlord when you visit a family members house and wonder how much rent you could get for it.
