This was my first MF deal, everyone knows that, everyone on the deal has aligned long term goals.Disputes I'm not too worried about, I'm good at managing expectations and I communicate clearly and frequently. 

For me personally on any given day I can be be found - Communicating with my team (CPA, attorney, brokers, lenders)Underwriting opportunitiesNetworking with investors and other real estate professionals Reading/listening to podcasts/audio books and continuing to educate myselfTouring prospect propertiesTouring assets in our portfolioMeetings/calls with partnersAdmin work

As long as you communicate up front the responsibilities it works.

The only guy I ever had to evict from one of my properties, I had put on a 'written communication only' plan because he just couldn't seem to catch on.

It is a little more hands on regarding the communication and booking requests, but I find it much easier, and simple.

If so, how was the process (fees, timelines, restrictions, underwriting, communication, etc.)?

Or give them eviction notice.What is nicest way to communicate with them? 

Other direction, actually, I'd rather over-pay (& I do in fact overpay, relative to market) and know that I'm getting a stellar high level of service, communication, speed, smoothness, etc. 

Communication is fantastic.

Communicate with the contractor that you feel comfortable with and make sure he has the right of first refusal when it comes to performing services.
