@Bryan Blankenship and @Kurt Jones-  What we'll do is communicate rent is going up to $XX, and if there is agreement we just lock in the lease then and there correct? 

Same with the low voltage communications/ smart homes.

What does everyone use to keep up with their list of contacts & tracking communications/ follow up?

@Kurt MichaelsonIf you have an open line of communication with the son, that seems like your best bet. 

Conversely, your agent might file an ethics complaint against the listing agent because he communicated with one of his clients.

I was just communicating with them earlier in week on transferring a loan I am acquiring that they service.

I delayed the loss of the property by constantly communicating with the lien holders.

I suggest communicating with the tenants and be as flexible as possible.

I used to manage things by email but one of my tenants started texting and adding me on Whatsapp etc. and it just became a mess to communicate with her and her husband especially when trying to coordinate a repair.

That depends on several factors and of course how you conduct business.If you are using the Airbnb Arbitrage business model and you are not communicating the fact that you are listing the owners property online then you are at the very least doing something unethical and it's only a matter of time before you get shut down.
