It seems like Wagner is just a broker and the issue is with the builder who isn't performing?

My wife and I have a few homes near campus we use as student rentals and they certainly perform well.

I'm about to start a team of callers on these lists, but I don't want to waste their time or my time with these dead leads.I'm thinking of charging back the expense with my credit card company because I'm pretty disappointed.Does anyone have any solutions they'd recommend for getting accurate property owner phone numbers?

If the assets makes financial sense to keep otherwise, hiring a PM solves your problem and allows you to keep a performing asset.
