In your ad, put........No dangerous breed animals or petsNo smokers of any kind,No evictions, everNo felonies, everThere is a $50.00 Non-refundable background check that you (The prospective tenant) will payYour gross income must be at least 3x the monthly rent.Then when they call......dont pickup the phone.........let them leave a voice mail...........If they sound like they have sense......then TEXT them back and ask them to verify the above.Once they verify then arrange a showing

It just doesn't seem the same as a phone call or virtual meeting. 

Uploading direct mail, cold calling, texting & past lead lists can be really good starting points to direct your ads towards because it can increase your reach, keep you top of mind as well as start a relationship with these people that may not be wanting to text you back, answer the phone or respond to your mail. 

I would love the opportunity to hop on a quick phone call and explain my (our) current situation for some guidance.

One gripe I have with them is that so many leads have phone numbers that don't work.

The third party has refused to pay lot rent and the owner is not responding to messages or phone calls.

A quiet phone line.

Interviewed another CPA today via phone briefly and he has reasonable hourly rate… but has never advised on REI things as above.

I figured I need to make 30-40 phone calls a day to be doing deals consistently, but I like the email strategy also and I am interested to learn more.

The issue could have been identified on the first phone call by reviewing the tenant's ledger.
