Some companies use an automatic answer system for the calls but having a person to answer the calls and speak to the person proves to be more productive.

Did the submeters have automatic reading capability?  

@Nathan LambertThis is what I advise all my friends to do to list their rental property if they don't want to spend the money on listing with a real estate agent- Go to Lowe's and in the isle with the typical red and white "For Rent" signs, you will find a blue/green sign by Registersigns.com for about $15... you can then go on their website and upload photos and a property description - the website links your "listing" to the majority of the online real estate sources automatically - this is the most widespread marketing net you will get without listing it on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) - as for determining if you are priced correctly, I would ask an agent for their opinion if you don't have a good source for prices of recently leased properties.

When you input the Fixed Asset you can then select a depreciation method you'd like to use and it will automatically depreciate your assets.As a straight buy/hold investor Xero may be your best choice. 

Airbnb syncs with the VRBO calendar automatically I'm not sure if VRBO ever decided to figure out how to sync with Airbnb but they do sync with Google so I just do it that way. 

An agent can set you up with automatic alerts with your criteria and you will be notified immediately.

I just wanna hear you guys out what you are considering a "bad neighborhood".So, in this picture it is as follows:Green Circle = Rental unti/estateOrange marking = Bad neighborhood in generalRed Circle = a shooting a few months back with automatic weapons.There's a highway between the orange line and where the green apartment house is, about 500 meters in distance and 2000 meters from where the shooting took place. 

We did have to use the "buyer is still arranging their financing " excuse. 1 extension is almost automatic.  2nd is harder and I wouldn't count on a 3rd at all.

I automatically reject any application that is not completely filled out.

This reply automatically made me feel more cautious.
