Yes, there are contracts, there is written communication behind every agreement, but in my 14 yrs as a landlord, and 17 yrs working in commercial real estate, talking with people (tenants, brokers, contractors, etc) is always best.That being said, if you are serious about buying any property and you struggle with the likely tenant/landlord relationship, I would begin interviewing property management teams, to take the direct tenant relationships off your plate.  

The easiest way to do this outside of some sort of scraping tool (which i recommend digging into), is to develop a solid list of ways to look for deals (not just zillow or mls), and then develop a super specific buy box, then just create custom filters with notifications where applicable, you can also use a VA to look through the various acquisition methods and send you a vetted list every day.
