Define your criteria very specifically. 

It might reference "transient" but how do they define that?  

I am familiar with broad negligence and responsibility - I'd  just like to find a statutory paragraph somewhere that really defines what happens in this situation, which does not seem to fit under "negligence" on our part. 

You just need to define a strategy and what you want and then go for it. 

This doesn't mean you're available 24/7, but it does mean that within the structure you define, you can provide value they won't find anywhere else.I'm not saying you shouldn't be cordial or anti social, you just need to have a well defined business relationship, and make sure you know which hat you're wearing when boundaries get tested.

@Ethan Cooke all the SF RC regulations still apply- like tenants ability to add roommates as they wish, without your explicated permisssion as long as they don't over crowd, which is liberally defined.

@Mitchell BerryFinding deals starts by learning your market and defining your strategy.

Additionally, West U is defined as a city (still in the 610 loop so a bit more urban) and controls many of the laws in the area.

I don't know how ohio works, but in TX, its defined as 'loyalty'.  2) Exclusive agency contracts allow the broker/realtor/wholesaler to sell the property but also allows you to sell the property without owing a commission3) Exclusive right to sell contracts allows the realtor/broker/wholesaler to collect a commission as long as the property sells during the listing period.4) In TX, to sell or buy real estate outside of a FSBO transaction, you must have a license.  

If you want to keep meeting those folks, great, but I'd encourage to put most of your focus on defining your niche and finding your first deal.
