Going one round with them they were grateful for the communication and the trust we had placed in each other.

Perhaps I have been fortunate or they are particularly efficient in the states we focus on.But yes, our advertising of closing from _as little_ as X days is quickly tempered with an explanation of the variable speed of appraisals. 

This companies base their marketing campaigns on avoiding the agent comision basically implying, we agents don't add value.Good agents...Empathize with their clients and make them feel comfortable in stressful situations.Good agents...Make their customers have a clear understanding of the transaction process so they know what's next.Good agents...Communicate effectively so the client has full knowledge of the situation at any time.Etc.Not all agents are good.

@Alexander Felice it’s mostly commercial property around it amv is around 150 I’ll be putting in around 20k in repairs I’m getting it for 65 the property management is the selling agent and it’s extremely hard to communicate with her I do plan on house hacking the gross rent will be 1300 and the tenants pay utilities

While this is an updated deadline from what’s been communicated out in the past, this date is now final and it’s important to get registered as soon as possible to meet the deadline.

@Tyler MinkelPost a 3-day notice and they will probably start communicating with you ;)I've gotten so immune to tenants not communicating and honoring lease agreements, that I post notices immediately.

I leave the service to the A/C techs.I understand them so I know if this major importance high cost item (black box to most) is being serviced and replaced at as an efficient cost as possible (I'm not getting rammed on prices or misdiagnosis from tech errors).

It's awesome that you communicated with the seller and were able to solve any problems that came along together.

@Khadijah Celestine Personally, I would be more inclined to invest that money into multifamily properties because of the larger scale efficiency, scalability, cash flow, and equity build up potential.
