I'm going to start making phone calls and see what information I can get, and start networking with locals more.

Does anyone have experience with using a virtual assistant with pre screening tenants when they first make contact online or via phone?

@Keiffer Putman - This is normally where I suggest we grab a cup of coffee, but, maybe just a phone call these days!

I have a phone appointment with US Bank on Wednesday and I hope to hear from Texas First Bank and Wells Fargo tomorrow.

Because of the pandemic, the IRS was neither working on this processing nor are they answering the phones. 

On my mobile phone right now, I have the AirBNB app.

Pro tip: Do not add your phone number to ANY listing - emails only. 

Just got a phone call from a tenant. 

I am willing to help you out with some advice or even chat on the phone if you wish.

Those sellers are going to either sell or die in their homes and then have their estate deal with it, so the only thing you need to do when you finally get them on the phone is to assess their level of motivation.
