He is communicating with his agent, who communicates with my agent, who talks to me, so the messages takes awhile to go back and forth.I don't want to drag this out because it's a good deal for me and I don't want to leave the door open for someone else to make an offer.

If they won't talk to you then leave them one more voicemail saying that not communicating is unacceptable and if you don't here back from them within 24 hours you are going to terminate the contract and find a new company.I doubt that there is any conspiracy agasint you, but the company could very well just suck.

Due to interested people who want to help, things like the audited financial statements can be donated or heavily discounted which would impact the bottom line numbers to get started.It would also require a lot more communication about the project, the repairs and upgrades needed and how things work for everyone in the long run than if I put the same info out here - most of the little guys who would fund that may have bought their own house before but that would be the limit of their real estate experience for the most part.I think the individual investors would be looking at smaller return in exchange for their cash along with the idea of doing something worthwhile - $2,000 invested for a cause they believe in @ 3-4% versus a CD at the bank on a number of levels.

In total I will be paying about $10,000 a year in property taxes.My father is not really involved in the business (except for paying for everything lol) but I am the one who finds the properties, closes the deals, communicates with listing agents, manages properties, finds tenants, hires contractors for renovation/repairs, etc.Are numbers like this typical in the real estate market?

Sounds like you're getting crappy communication from the listing/negotiating side.

This was a bit annoying but not too much as the turnkey operator stayed in good communication, so expectations, while needing to be revised often, were basically met.

You need to work with a agent that is excellent at what they do, communicates well and is trustworthy.Mike

He is the best around and does taxes for all the top investors.Titan CPA901-432-8888I know you said email but I suggest you make the first call and then let him know you will do email communication.

Learned a few things.Become better at communicating with the Owner/Seller on what to expectClarify what your/my role is in the transactionAnd make sure that the seller has all of their questions answered.I made a few Dollars and she is debt free and my Buyer is happy with his new property.

@Aaron Yates either works fine for me, please communicate the locked in date early enough so I can block off my calendar.
