You can ask her/him questions by phone before and after the inspection, and of course you'll have the inspection report itself to look at.One thing that might come up though, especially with a multi-family property, is that if the units are occupied the tenants may refuse to let an agent or inspector in.

@India Brown You should definitely have a short list of VIP buyers that get a phone call first if you have something that you know meets their criteria.

Or DM if you’d like to exchange phone numbers.

Emails, text messages, family distractions, phone calls, etc... anything that is NOT an immediate emergency and captures your attention during times you need to remain FOCUSED would be considered a distraction.I highly recommend Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habit of highly effective people".

I especially like using google hangouts as this app allows me to text tenants from either my phone or from my computer. 

Think nursing assistants, housekeeping, hospital reception and information desks, switchboard staff, administrators and their admin staff, security guards. 

Yes, reaching out via email/text/phone is nice, but I find it very easy to get buried in day to day life once things relax. 

I would call them and speak with them on the phone.

Call the local water authority and get last year's bills.What about lawn care, snow removal, admin/professional costs?

I start every new relationship with a 30-45 minute phone call, where I ask a lot of screening questions.
