We gave him 56k in deposits and he will not even pick up his phone or engage in a conversation.

There can also be chemicals in the treated lumber that are harmful to the environment.Invest in a good screen or built in door system.  

Of course emails and phone calls are going unanswered.

As I expressed on the phone and I have already spoken with Rick as well, I am confident that we have the inventory that meets your needs to build out your portfolio in a faster time frame.  

Is there something I need to do to get my phone number and name disassociated with these properties or at least made private?

These properties today can throw cash like crazy, but you'll be dealing with a certain kind of tenant and depending on your tenant screening could be looking at higher costs due to poorer tenants.

After some observation, we decided it was just noise - no one was watching it; they were looking at their phones. 

I answer my phone 24/7.Seems to either impress people or surprise them....

Is anyone else willing to share the math-side property screening process?

Right now I use an VA from the Philippines to respond to all my leasing questions (from Facebook, email, text, and phone) and help with application screening and it's been working great for over 5 years!
