Hi @Charlice ArnoldI have worked with a lot of banks in this space and the one thing I stress is communication.

That's why I'd rather focus just on the very few high $$ properties each year, rather than battle it out with the "regulars"on lower priced stuff, I think you're often better off looking at the other methods of finding them, OR maybe putting some effort into it but its no easy game there at all.Lastly, if you want to hear a TRUE story of FAILURE at the auction, here's one that happened to ME!

They handle any pre-booking and pre-stay communication with guests.

When we engage appraisers to appraise for loans, we do not tell them the loan amount, and we don’t allow them communication with the borrower.  

I am thinking maybe I need to be more involved in the property management part and speak to the tenants myself throughout the year. the way it is now is my property manager handles all communication. 

Coordinating a same-day sale required precise timing and effective communication.

AGREED, lots of people are scared to tell their tenants and avoid the communication, which as you pointed out just makes the situation worse. 

She has been extremely responsive, polite, etc in all communication.

Coordinating a same-day sale required precise timing and seamless communication.
