They promise you the world and that everything is automated, so all you have to do is "Plug and Play".

Emailed about a potential property with 2 simple questions...is the current tenant remaining and if so what is the rent...got an automated response that the agent had "signed me up" for her email listings...I never ask for that...why can't she just answer 2 simple questions...are these folks lazy or incompetent or both

Our automated spam filters will detected repeated messages and block you from sending messages.  

The tall order for me was the due diligence necessary to determine the condition of the properties and knowing the locations well enough to know when the income approach to value was skewed by the character of the neighborhoods.Other buyers I talked with about the process use automated valuation models (AVM) to guage value, but I found those to be way too inaccurate. 

Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating (VA, automated offers, etc.)

End game goals would be to establish a company and completely automate the business. 

Could automate further and may in the future to where I don't take the calls. 

Many property management software solutions offer integrated email platforms, some of which can be set to send automated out-of-office or business-hours-only replies.
