The issue that concerned me the most has been the level of animosity and condescending communication that has been occurring between Steve and Sophie while trying to address issues.

Eviction is really your only legal option if they are not communicating with you.

I would also look for reviews, licensing, and communication.

Moxie is definitely better, but the communication is still lacking.

It's not for a lack of trying.I've asked him to try working some other channels to see what we can put together for you.Sorry for any slow communication; it's a crazy time in the markets and the low/tight inventory has made it rather challenging for everyone in the industry.I'll follow up with Micheal more tomorrow.Feel free to contact me anytime!

More importantly, Paramount (Prestige Fund), a large player in the industry has stopped distributions and communication is awful. 

@Denise Brown-Puryear I am about to close with LendingOne and the communication is subpar.

I previously posted questions on this channel about lending money on the paperstac platform.
