The roofer gave me a invoice with high level bill of material, and a statement that it has 2 years of warranty and brand name of the shingles.It does not say brand name warranty or model or batch number etc. 

I'm in the same boat, I've been happily using Stessa for a couple years and recently I'm having connection problems and they're not connecting with mortgage companies that are buying out my loans.

I've had a couple of bad actors, but all in all I've had good experiences and continue to provide this type of housing.   

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

There are some lenders who specialize in lending for double closes and will basically send you the money for a couple days but I personally haven't done this and don't know what the charge.

I've been investing there for a couple of years.

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.

But then, in the public meeting, people were like “uh what about unmarried couples?

With fresh paint throughout inside and out, brand-new roof, dual HVAC systems, updated water heater, stainless steel appliances, lighting fixtures, outlets, countertops, and PEX plumbing just to name a few.

Couple of things I would add as I am an investor and also a licensed GC(i.e. builder)  there in the area. 1) That property might have a zillow estimate of 1.9 million but its only 4,000 sq ft.
