It starts with the initial phone call, seeing the tenant at the walk-through, then screening the application.

Is it possible to do the whole deal via phone, email, fax etc.?

I go over the lease with the tenants before they sign it, at least one or two days before, so they have time to read it through and bring up any concerns.This particular tenant would throw screaming and cursing fits over the phone and by text if she wanted a repair that we would not or could not accommodate to her schedule for being home.

Mowing yards, swinging a hammer, answering phones, etc.They will likely show you the ropes.You can put that money into savings towards your first purchase.

Since then, her cell phone has been turned off and she never answers her landline.I dropped a "pre 3 day pay or quit" on her door the other day, and I am about to post the 3 day pay or quit.

You'd probably want to use a different phone number as well.Define your brands, and what they do.

Present yourself well on the phone and in person at the showing.

i just dont know what i am supposed to say during the first phone call.

I had made some phone calls about doing that then I was turned off when I heard the stories.

Let me try again: @J Scott Raymond It worked-- you have a super power, or at least a bat phone.
