I am also interested in the idea of a service that handles guests communications and optimizes listing content.

I know when I work for someone I get right on the job or communicate when I will get the job done.

I plan to.....hire ideal contractors, manage processSend multiple weekly updates Keep communication transparent Etc I want to dive into managing real estate projects and provide my best efforts to complete the project!

Make sure you also choose an attorney who is committed to providing quick responses and open communication so you feel like you are in the loop at all times on the legal end.

You will need regular reports and communication with them to insure they are following all your guide lines.

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

You might need more communication to the tenant or sell them on why you are increasing the rent in a small increment. 

Try every possible means of communication email, phone, facebook, in-person, etc3.

Qualities that make a good partner in investment areas are motivation level, commitment capacity, communication skills etc.

Setting expectations up front is a great way to start a good communication history with your tenant.Regarding the savings account to collect interest, you could but it is probably not worth the hassle.
