Some of you have mentioned before about having and using a throw away email.

What exactly does that mean?

How do you actually make use of it?

Do you just make one up for one time use and then somehow do away with it?

Is it an email that you keep but rarely check?

Do you only give it out for certain occasions or people?

Do you use it when trying to fill a vacancy and otherwise ignore it?

I am trying to get the details in my head as to how you do this and why.

Thank you for your time.

6x6

6X: I have 3 emails. One is my main that I check every morning and throughout the day. That is how I communicate with my tenants when they have a concern or need service that is not an emergency.

The 2nd is only used when I'm advertising a property for rent. It's a google email with a google voice number attached to it. I keep the ringer off so I'm not distracted. Once I've filled the vacancy, I give the new tenant my main email and cell number.

I also use the same google email when vetting contractors for projects. Once I put the word out, I get constant calls and follow ups. I let them go to voicemail. Once I've hired contractors, we usually email here. Once the project is finished, I keep the name for future work.

And another type is Disposable Addresses. It's an email address that you create at a disposable address website that will forward email to an address you specify for a specified amount of time.
