I closed one deal with them last year, and currently have 4 in escrow with them now, with 2 of those scheduled to close next week 

HML is going to charge me an appraisal fee, draw schedules, draw inspections, etc. every single time.

@John Conlon - Let's get a call on the schedule.

There is no way a that conventional lender would have even scheduled a meeting of the underwriting committee in two days.What is the problem? 

We sent another commuication asking the tenant to give us a few days to schedule ceiling repaint. 

The schedule for day was posted 15 minutes before first inspection window so I had left house prior to schedule being posted.  

If they fail to allow access, they are charged a $100 trip charge fee.If their schedule doesn't allow them to be there, then I will open the home for the contractor.I try to respect the tenant's schedule, but I also expect them to respect mine and the contractor's.

I just wear so many hats...for example...I do the advertising, selling, hiring, firing, scheduling, payroll, taxes, product research, price negotiation, inspections, insurance meetings, insurance write ups, bank meetings, draw requests, and when I need to I can pick up any tool on any project and do the work better than the lead guy on the crew.

.- Review your daily schedule and take inventory of the tasks that has been repetitive.

If not, schedule that activity for some time later in the day/week after you've taken care of the income-producing activities that will help you grow your business.Lastly, I'd recommend reading some of the David Greene books for real estate agents in the BP bookstore as well as Hyper local Hyper fast agent by Dan Lesniak.All the best!
