SF market is hot and with multiple offers on the table for units, sellers are not interested in 3.5% down when they are getting over asking, 20% down or all cash offers. 

Just keep plugging away and do your due diligence and communicate how and why your deal is a good deal.

We add value both ways, our kids hang out, good communication etc.He has always wanted to do property management.

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.Feel free to ask here if you have questions.If you need a direct referral feel free to PM me as I have a name or two I can give out.

Most of my communication with them is through automatic systems (we have backed software for showings) and for offers (there is a backend system for offers) then depending on the listing, the bank responds directly to the contract and once it gets accepted, its all through the lawyers.  

Make sure you communicate to your private lender what you are doing.

@Nikki Grizzle - the road of least resistance (prevent communication issues) is to hold the tenant responsible for anything that's not normal wear and tear.

Still trying to figure this website out, but looking forward to communicating with everyone and sharing knowledge!

I'm in a similar situation where I have good tenants presently and they have verbally communicated that they would be willing to leave the unit early upon my request for a financial incentive. 

I appreciate any help, knowledge and expertise you can bring and look forward to communicating in the future!
