We set the standard with the tenant, also the owners I work for/with communicate with me sometimes daily depending on the situation.

Both the ex-husband and ex-wife don't communicate.

On time, budget friendly, great communication.

I'm just wondering if the process functions any different on our end with our realtor since we are communicating/negotiating directly with the sellers on price (how involved does our Realtor get when they are selling it FSBO?)

In many parts of the country a "selling agent" refers to the agent representing the buyer (as opposed to a "seller's agent", who represents the seller).Also want to second what Jason said - you shouldn't be communicating directly with the seller/listing agent in the first place if you already have representation.

Sec 8 and neighborhood is definitely problematic at best but my husband is great with tenants and communication is key.

get rid of being nice or mean, or anything like that... be professional, fix stuff ASAP, be respectful and have great communication, and do exactly what the contract states you need to do... 

dropping my very first communication in BP forums an introduction of myself, how fun! 

Those criteria and more will dictate what type of property best suits each investor's abilities and agenda.If an investor finds himself very uncomfortable in lower-income neighborhoods, if the investor finds it difficult to effectively communicate with people who live in lower-income neighborhoods, and if the investor has very little experience being around people who come from lower-income neighborhoods, then it is probably not a good idea for that investor to invest in lower-income neighborhoods.
