Just be mindful to communicate what your thinking to the seller long before you show up with either one.

I was confused as why he decided the last day he had to stay , he was mostly moved out , then he got very emotional but didn't offer any specific details.. so he paid that day in cash with slight increase of rent and had him sign a 1 year lease.

@Caleb L.I would say it is fine, so long as your job is not just to find a property for an investor by middle man communications between a broker and the investor for a small payment (pretty much what a broker does).

I suspect poor communication was a reason that such a low percentage of people who paid $300 atrended (in San Diego I attended the STR workshop and room was full - this syndication workshop we sat around one table).I have heard Codie present and she is as good as you indicate but not an RE person. one of her lines is something like there are a lot of millionaire RE investors but not a lot of billionaire RE investors and I want to be a billionaire.  

Did y'all get the VRBO email on their new Host Communication policy and with it, sale of property?  

While they are good communicators, experienced with Section 8, and their software for rent collection is solid, we're increasingly concerned about a few key issues and would appreciate input from anyone with similar experiences:Turnover Fees Transparency:The turnover fees seem high, and despite our requests for itemized breakdowns and man-hours to justify these costs, we feel they may be taking advantage of our out-of-state position.

@Yaumari Gonzalez your #1 challenge will be retraining your brain on how to make offers on rentals.Owner-occupied transactions are mostly EMOTIONAL based transactions.Investment property transactions should only be BUSINESS transactions - no emotions!

I can recommend some good cost seg guys to help you maximize those deductions.Be sure to communicate this information to your accountant as well, so they can help you plan and be aware of the situation.

One of the hardest part of the MTR strategy is dealing with the emotional roller coaster that exists when a listing is about to open up again. 

You communicate with your tenants!
