The core 4 is David Greene’s long-distance investing strategy and consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.

Yes, it would be good if the seller communicated any issues earlier because then they could be handled/negotiated earlier if needed, but for the buyer there should be no risk to their EMD at least the way we would typically write a contract in my market. 

Realistically it's been over 4 years since I communicated with those contacts so it's outdated information.

A: "YES, PLEASE FIX THE SHOWER"A: "yeah ever since my landlord was tiling the shower and put some grout mixture down the drain we've been having consistent drain backups (2nd floor!)"

(See below)The stock broker inside me wants to just sell and add that to my portfolio where I know I can consistently make my ROI goals.

I don't do any section 8 because of the clientele you work with isn't as consistent.

To handle these situations, I've found that maintaining clear communication, documenting all interactions, and addressing issues promptly are key strategies.

We understand that NO one can (consistently) sell a $345K sports car for half of market value!

Otherwise, if their appraisals are consistently unfavorable, clients might choose to go elsewhere.

This includes metrics typically only the manager would need to focus on (work orders, billing, venders, tenant screening, tenant communication, maintenance management, etc.)I tried Stessa in years past, but it wasn't able to grow with me, and it was not a system my bookkeeper and accountant were familiar with.
