The best thing is to keep calling; harassing gently; write letters; find their home phone number etc.; contact BBB; Bad reviews on Angies list; Yelp; Google reviews; just try to be a pain in the butt; call TV stations to see if they take your story etc. 

Maybe a gentle nudge from you like "I sure would have appreciated a quicker response on the question last week....hope we can step up the communications here...."

Just be gentle.... 

I bought an entire house of gently used Tommy Bahama furniture, rugs, large fake plants, and framed prints.  

Home owners want the shower in the master bath as it looks more updated and not a fluff and buff of an older house layout. 

@Jay Hinrichs Congrats jay, you give a lot to this forum and do it with a gentle touch.

With SUNY Buffalo, Canisius, Daemen and Buff State colleges surrounding some of the greatest parts of Buffalo you can live, renters are always renting.But the student population isn’t the only population here; Buffalo is growing more year after year and becoming a very sought after city to live in with its amazing list of locally owned bars, restaurants, and businesses, Buffalo gives you big city vibes with that nice homey feeling.As far as market trends go and your return on investment, I’d be more than happy to guide you into finding a great property here in the City of Buffalo.Contact me if you would like more insight!

We've been gentle with his rent over the years, and it's a relationship that's worked pretty well for all of us.Anyway, the oldest spreadsheet I could find was from 2015. 

I'm admittedly being impatient in wanting to buy soon and my realtor is *gently* suggesting that in this seller's market with limited multi-unit inventory (and esp. in my city where we're expecting an appreciation boom), my cash flow calculation should be income vs. mortgage/taxes/insurance/property manager only (without factoring in the "savings expenses" i.e., repair/vacancy/CapEx). 

Just wondering if there's another option in real estate for me right now.Please be gentle with me.
