I run everything using my cell phone, however I feel that I am getting close to the breaking point.

No disrespect, just reading your post made my blood boil for a minute on your behalf.

She was awesome and even gave out her cell phone, and she is a landlord also.  

I know guys who could care less about anything being "green" but the numbers worked, and they have acres of solar cells.

The best landlords I work with have earned the local inspector's cell #, as have I, which understandably is a great way to cut through red tape.

I tried to reach through text and left a message on his cell phone with no response. 

And people wanted to believe it.BUT, if they quit paying their mortgage and they also aren't paying their cable bill or their cell phone bill, I'd never rent to them.I'd also want stable job history.  

Nothing to absorb or soak up the loss from other successful deals and trying to steer your ship around all the mines and now knowing you are the motivated seller as the blood drips into the water and the sharks have gathered for the feeding frenzy.

@Taylor Comer I second the advice about Google voice - free and super useful - you can forward it to your cell, have it be just on answering machine, customize greetings, etc. when the number gets called both my phone and my wife's phone ring and when a message is left I get a text and an email transcript.

I thought about getting headphones but if they cancel out sound, they may prevent me from hearing a sound that I need to hear in the middle of the night or in an emergency like my bell, a smoke alarm or my cell phone etc.
