I'm interested to hear from other Rehabbers on how they communicate their budget to contractors. 

Amazing...she replied, yep she is moving but failed to communicate that to me until I she felt her credit might get hurt.   

I am finishing my degree in communications and working on getting my realtors license.  

I would definatley recommend communicating with a few key loan officers to get their company guidlines on the deal before you make a move?

NLP is an effective communication approach.

Seller-now-note holder can assign his new note into a trust or any estate planning device after the sale. 

I've used VAs for a completely different business, and to do so successfully I had to take the time to write very clear instructions.My business relied completely on email and other online communications, so I have no insights on how to manage them for real time or voice related communications, but I will say that I had to tailor my VAs to those parts of the business that could tolerate turnaround times of one working day (the VAs were in Asia), and that focused on routine activities and communications with management rather than with communications with customers or actions that were not covered by established procedures.The Tim Ferris book 4-Hour Workweek turned me on to the idea of VAs, and it took me a while to warm up to the idea.

We did wait out the OO period, I guess the biggest struggle was trying to negotiate a contract with NO communication from the other side.
