My advice will be to learn the technicality and develop a lot of good skills such as communicate, sell the idea, good analyzing properties, get familiar with your farm (neighborhood) where you are planning to work and more.Jose Hooker-GomezREA Florida

I have a few questions regarding the best time and method to communicate with these potential sellers.

Relationships, negotiations/communication seem to be key.

I'm not a huge fan of it philosophically (I believe it encourages waste - you only have to see open windows in the middle of winter to figure out which ones have owner-paid heating), but tenants love it, it makes it much easier to fill units, and if you invest the money in a high-efficiency, on-demand system it can actually work out OK money-wise.

Be selective about what clients you take on and domt expect to make much, but it will make you more efficient​ on your rentals.

Your communicating should be above average because of all you are doing in the construction business.  

Thank you guys, I wasn't aware that you have to prove where the down payment is coming from, but that makes sense.I will be forever be trying to find loopholes and efficiencies in whatever I do until the day I die, that's the person I am.

Which software do you use for communication and collaboration?

After I get that running smoothly and efficiently I want to start looking at 16 unit minimum apartment complexes.  

Really looking for a tried and tested individual that produces timely / quality work and has great communication.
