Today's technology enables us to communicate and collaborate effectively with clients literally all over the globe.

Do business with people you trust, communicate often and ensure thorough understanding, and stay out of court.

We have agreed to go in together on a property bringing to the table-15k down, monthly savings that would be funneled back into the house for improvements and reno, a legal understanding of the situation (non emotional and non negotiable), and an understanding of why we want to do this. 

I'm a communications and marketing guy working in NEPA (northeast PA).

The lawyer would help with handling the communication with this tenant, at least send a warning shot.  

If you don't respond to a tenant's communication within 24 hours you are ignoring them.

Abou;Don't let your emotions get attached to the building, there are asking to way to much, so let them sit on it or someone else will come buy and be foolish. 

I'm finding within the last communications it is not.

Communication is key, if you back off and lose a few days waiting for documents, that can turn into a week with no activity.

It seems there are too many people involved and no one communicates to each other.
