I care less about the payment process and more about communication, accounting, documentation, processes, etc.

.- Communicate with the county: Try to negotiate with the county officials.

I'll definitely avoid downtown and focus my search elsewhere.Getting pre-approved beforehand is a great tip, and I wouldn't have thought about clearly communicating my ideal vs. maximum budget to a realtor.

Issues take weeks to identify as senior support only communicates with their dev team via email.

. - These are the two channels where these companies will seek out listings for their housing requests.Longer term you should be networking with businesses in the area that are known for having housing needs for their employees.

My suggestion is to communicate being a "problem solver" vs a 1-trick pony like every wholesaler mailing "all cash, quick close" cards or realtors sending out "just listed or just sold" postcards trying to attract a listing.

Final figures: 76.8% occupancy and a gross income (not booking value) of over $120k across all channels. 

I vividly recall calling you when you started and providing you with my direct cell phone number to encourage open communication.

Basically, the seller told you to communicate with his agent (not to contact him directly), so please do that. 

Also I communicated with Todd (the owner) regarding no progress with tenants .
