,I don't want to de-rail this conversation, so I was hoping you two could share a little more about lifestyle design in this thread below instead..

If you're stumbling over your words or your conversational flow is choppy because you're trying to read a script then you aren't giving the perception that you know what you're talking about and that you are truly a solution to the sellers problems.2. you don't sound trusting. 

Well damn, no coffee conversation for us then.

And make sure everyone knows that you are the man to find when it is time to turn over some real estate.Put your website out in every conversation you have.

I'm due to have a conversation with her about this today.

Well after signing and re-signing an 106 page contract, plus some backup paperwork, we're waiting for counter-signed docs and to open escrow.The system is super confusing as they have automated emails that go out indicating your paperwork is incomplete, even if that is not the case....but hopefully everything is sorted.It's an adventure for sure, but given the expected value (and more importantly expected rent) I'd be happy to jump through the hoops again and again.Now I suppose the question is when it might be reasonable to have a conversation with the tenant......this will be my first tenant-occupied purchase.

Invest a bit in a conversation with both a good real estate lawyer and accountant.

Not only did he show up on time, with paperwork prepared with information on the property, pointing out both good AND BAD aspects of the property, he was educated on the area and shared his knowledge, he was extremely personable and was able to carry on a conversation with my significant other while I went in and took my usual videos/made my lists/etc. 

It still might be good to look at just to get a feel for this style of duplex conversion.

I am looking forward to joining in on the conversation and learning from others on the forum.
