I'd love to connect sometime and pool skill sets or just talk shop and meet a like minded individual in the area, especially one familiar with the insides of properties as I'm able to force most of my appreciation on the exterior with lots of free material and excess stone and plants and such from work with a large network of landscapers and suppliers around. 

However, it has seen lots of restaurants and small shops pop up over the last few years.

I am an investor that buys properties of a similar price point and I have been shopping actively for the last couple of years.   

I'm getting ready to do a refi loan and I shopped around for prices.  

Would love to grab coffee sometime, hit me up!

For the smaller shops, the broker/agents might actually work on deals themselves and be busy.

I started to notice 4-5 letters sitting on the coffee table when I would go to appointments.

There's even the idea of running a coffee shop and living in a portion of the property although we aren't sure if this is even an option legally.

@Carlos AppezattoThe example of what to ask a prospective caller I gave was just a blanket example, you need to set your own criteria but the basic of pre screening applicants is " you just gave them the minimum" that you would even consider meeting with them to show the unit.The other posters have given good tips and I think one thing you could do is have someone "Shop" your realtor.. act like a prospective tenant to call or contact, and see how long it takes for a reply, how enthusiastic the person is to meet and show the unit.. and how quickly they can get an appointment.In the rental business we were shopped occasionally even by our own property owners, so we were prompt with calls, gave fair and equal treatment to applicants, and were good sellers of our units for the owners.. in fact their are businesses out there that hire people to shop apartments just for this purpose.

I have the sellers contact information, and I would like to possibly take him for a coffee and see what his needs are.
