Thanks for all your feedback @Account Closed how long has your assistant been taking calls for you? How has training them worked for you?

@Account Closed , the best is to bring a pre filled out PA to get it locked up.

@Account Closed great job getting a lead. Have they given you any idea how much they think their house is worth? If you pay them cash and can close quickly whats the least they would take. Once you find their number and you make them an offer make sure you still get them a offer in writing, so if they refuse they will have it to look at later. Best is to sit down and go over your offer with them, but that doesn't always work. You can hand it to them, mail, fax or email. See how things go before you show them comps, but have them available. Depending on your experience you can give them options in your offer increasing your chances in getting a deal done.

What's your best way for you and your tenant to stay in contact, or which do you prefer? Do you stop by, call, text, letter, email or use some other form of communication with tenants. This could be for any number of reasons. Maybe you don't ever have to because everything is going along just fine. Any interesting stories about how communication did go wrong for what ever reason.

@Tara Hall great job taking action! Any idea how much he's behind on taxes? I would pass on it, but maybe you will get some different thoughts here. Keep moving forward!

@John Horner lots of great suggestions here. My question is do you cash flow on the rental? Assuming you do, I would go for a small increase just to keep them on board that way they are use to having an increase no matter how much.
