The closing took 8 months--the seller could only communicate on Sundays. 

I just recently got back from a three year tour in Germany and the main thing you need from a property manager is someone with a solid automated system and  they need to be completely ok with email being the primary and possibly only form of communication. 

We have communicated over text and email.I have submitted a POF document and we discussed the funding portion of the deal. 

Also I would make sure any and all communications were done in writing to back up what happened.

If so, you should consider grounding yourself in the full spectrum of real business life: sales, negotiation, finance, communication, marketing, etc.I do have some specific recommendations on business books that I found helpful, so connect with me here on BP if you're interested.Good luck!

This tenant is on a month to month lease and only wants to communicate by phone or email.

Rented to a bad corporate tenant who did not communicate nor check on the house.

If I think think that you never communicated that the funds were non-refundable, if I found out that you live in Seattle, that you own 3 rental properties (in your personal name?)

We’ve fired several, usually for communication problems (especially ignoring emails).
