I have pretty good communication with the potential buyer, besides being a landlord in the immediate area, he has been a family acquaintance for years.

But then it was a nightmare of communication, we soon realized that we had to do a bunch of songs and dances to convince them to sponsor our deal, it took 4 or 5 days for them to make time to sit down with us only to tell us that we needed to schedule another meeting in another 4 or 5 days to get Tyler on the phone and let us try and convince them to sponsor us and by that time someone else was awarded the deal and we lost out.

Personally if they were polite with good communication and nothing was stolen or damaged.

You may want to somewhat hide your identity from tenants though, which if set up correctly, an LLC can do.You didn't ask, but... you should ask your PMC a LOT of questions about HOW they will execute their services and how they will communicate with you.

(Saw them starting to move out yesterday they have not communicated or provided fwd address) Let's call them The Rushmores, they have overstayed unpaid for 7 months now!)

Ensure that you market and clearly communicate your requirements to prospective candidates.

It's mostly sales, good communication, and social media in today's world.

Giving my accounts nicknames with minimums also helps my wife and me communicate about our goals for each account.

I like to tip our cleaners for doing a great job and lay out clear expectations and make sure I'm also communicating how they prefer.

Now I have a team of VAs who handles guest communication 24/7 and it's been an essential way to scale my business
