My email is [email protected] again and looking forward to hearing from you!  

Imagine buying the worst triplex in the best area.

Just enough time to return emails.  

Simple things like a branded email at your domain and a website can open a lot of doors. 

.- Send emails and texts to all tenants in the building reminding them of "quiet enjoyment" and respectful behavior to their neighbors.- Avoid being the mediator, judge, and jury

I'd automate the email/message so I don't forget, too!

PMs are busy - if you email a PM and say "Hey PM, I'm looking at 123 Main St. and I think it will rent for $1500 a month, does that sounds right?"

Great - I have emailed the details 

But in my imagination it seems like a good way to create some prime real estate in the city limits.

Well one thing that is interesting in regards to Earnest Money is that you take a place like Ohio, I'd imagine it's the same in Oregon but in Ohio the Division of Real Estate regulates the activities of real estate brokerages and their trust accounts but the Division of Insurance is who regulates title companies.
