If it’s both he needs to be prepared for 2 different requests, expectations, and 2 different marketing channels

I want to request pictures to get an idea of the condition.

We were literally at a gas station in Florida when our phones started dinging left & right with booking requests. 

@Kyle CurtinThanks for replying Kyle, I sent you a request.

Buy the property with an FHA loan (since I don’t have a ton of cash, most is invested or in retirement accounts.) and then move out after the requested timeframe has lapsed that I need to live in the property.My current lease I signed was an 18 month lease and we have still around 16 more months to go.

The main factor, unfortunately, has been listing agents that don't communicate, aren't transparent or flat out ignore my offers or requests to get financials.

I am not attacking you, just he BS you are spitting out.But ok then... as you requested let's "just leave it at that".

Some of the big ones I've heard are things like having a great tenant portal for handling maintenance requests and rental applications, quick response times when dealing with tenant follow up, showing face at the property or at least routine drive by checks and a reliable maintenance team to handle property repair and upkeep.

You’re leaving money on the table if you try to do pricing on your ownFind a solid cleaner and handyman (this may take a couple tries) as they are the lifeblood of your business and will help you with any last-minute requests that you can’t do being far awayUse a Property Management System (PMS) tool like Guesty or OwnerRez to automate messages and run your business more efficientlyThere are certainly more tips and tricks, but these are the basics to get you started. 

EMD is largely pointless here....what happens is the money gets tied in escrow until there is consensus to release the funds...no consensus, no release....the money sits in limbo for 2-years and then goes back to you, its a lose/lose situation....or you get a court opinion...so, pay $6,000 in legal fees for $5,000...not a great idea...In the last 20 requests for EMD we have submitted for listing clients where a buyer was unable to perform on a deal, the broker on the other side of the table acknowledges the initial request and then ignores every piece of documentation and future request...there is no repercussion...a lawyer might be able to help with motivation here.This is usually a "pissing match" fueled by misunderstanding of how EMD works...Your agent/broker should be advising you on this stuff...Read this: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-re...
