Transparency, detail and communication.

If you're selling to someone who will be a homeowner and is buying for emotional reasons, this may have a different impact. 

Hello Mark, Jumping into real estate can seem scary right at the forefront; however, it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences not only financially but also emotionally and mentally.

Our cleaner is insisting on this communication via SMS and not using a separate app (like Lodgify PM module or turbo).We cannot continue to handle this manually.  

I started with nothing and aggressively saved for almost a year until I had 10k for a downpayment on a cheap house.Step 2: Join online platforms like BiggerPockets, Eventbrite, Meetup, and Facebook groups to connect with investors and get an idea of what kind of properties to look for as investments.Step 3: Use Zillow to find agents and communicate what you’re looking for.Step 4: Analyze at least 5 properties a day in your target market for six months to understand what it would take for you to make positive cashflow.Step 5 Get pre approved from a bank.

Then there is the wasted emotional drain and related work. 

I would be open to discussing with a high quality tenant who you can communicate well with. 

can you take the emotions out of the relationship?

It sounds like you're in a tough situation, both financially and emotionally.

They are a bit slow and clunky on the communications but we did it!
