I even copied him on our entire chain of communication.

What is the best way to communicate with you?

I should be able to get it down to 10% of rents collected with a professional management company; however, I'm assuming since this is my first property there will be some headaches with coaching them how I'd like to approach ongoing communications, repairs, etc.

Want to be sure I communicate everything necessary with my agent before making an offer. 

I'm looking for recommendations for an honest, fairly-priced, and communicative general contractor for handling a few significant repairs.

You'd be surprised how many providers can talk a good game over email, but can't facilitate a tour, stop communicating when it comes to actually showing you their properties.

I have been notified you and our Property Manager have been in constant communication, as it is our overall goal to help you get your property rented to a qualified tenant with minimal time gaps.

I would communicate directly to the previous owner verbally. 

@Jay Hinrichs - I tried doing it without a lawyer a few years ago and the other side refused to accept any communication without a lawyer. 

Technology advancements such as email, phone calls, skype has enabled communication with a remote CPA to be seamless.
