I also can't wait until I am actually getting paid directly in proportion to how hard I work instead of someone else making so much money off my sweat equity, I have a very strong work ethic, excellent customer service and communication/networking skills and unbridled enthusiasm and passion and these qualities are under-appreciated and under-compensated in my current career.We live in northwest Denver and love living in Colorado, it's absolutely beautiful here and there are a lot of great activities and the mountains are just a Jeep ride away.

Ben D Lack of communication, a bunch of excuses and no payments would be a red flag for me.

You simply communicate directly with the management company.Hi Kenneth B.: Welcome to BiggerPockets!

No appraiser on the VA panel s going to risk their good standing status by not communicating.

hi Jon Holdman - I was summarizing to communicate order of magnitude.

All the while keep constant communication with them.

I use it to get ideas, but I've found it to be really helpful to communicate concepts to contractors.

If you have the tenant's cell number, text with them so you have a written trail also (this can come up in court and in my experience, judges are largely accepting of any written communication to paint the context of a situation.) 

Learn how to communicate.

I like to keep a wall up where I never communicate with my tenants.
