@Michael Greenberg A fellow host in St Augustine does what is probably the most cost-effective way to get repeat guests by simply collecting contact information from guests and with their permission, sends periodic communication and specials.

Ways to mitigate the risk is to continue strong communication with contractors with weekly status updates.

Strive for respectful, open, honest and clear communication.

They are very responsive, good communication.

One bit of advice from one BP member to another Make sure you have a really good set of corporate resolution docs, non competes, a really good set of policies and procedures and communicate daily on expectations, goals, and EVERYTHING!

I would retain the communication where he told you that you would lose your security, because THAT is not legal and sounds like a threat to me.

If she's not communicating with the potential buyers to raise their offers and with you about which offer is better (which is clearly the one that gives you more money, so unless the house is selling for more than $1.4 million, the first one) then fire her and/or complain to her broker.Now maybe she's new at this and deserves the benefit of the doubt.

With the eviction order in hand, the seller doesn't have to communicate the property was sold and can continue the process without me restarting the process, though my attorney said I could do a 'substitution of plaintiff" if I wanted. 

He was really pleased with my communication and apologetic that he had 'put the cart before the horse' so to speak and said I'd be the first to call when he is ready to sell it. 

I'm thinking about moving from the current property manager due to various issues with transfer of rent and lack of communication so this would likely involve some work in dealing with the current tenants and getting keys from the current property manager.I would very much appreciate any recommendation.
