Poor or No Communication PlatformsEffective co-living communication platforms are characterized by:1) usability2) accessibility3) commitment of involvementThis can be done through house email lists, whiteboard, group texts, etc.

Unfortunately, we get too many calls from clients that got the run around, poor communication and service and/or were the victims of a "bait and switch". 

The gripe I hear with PMs is they don't communicate, don't vet/put in good tenants, and don't care about the owners.

am working with them now and had the first policy (with Spinnaker) cancelled for nonpayment/late payment so we rewrote another policy (with Millenial) and having the same payment problem again but at least they are communicating that cancellation is coming. they want me to pay by credit card over the phone so the payment wont be late and cancelled again. but when i go to mycoverageinfo.com to check on status it shows its been paid.

I've worked with several loan servicers, and no matter who you use, it's not fun setting it up, but I've had easier success communicating with OnePoint.They have a login portal to track payments etc, like you mentioned.

I am always happy to chat about hard money - and I am biased, but I think I am an excellent communicator!

If they find out you've communicated off-platform with a guest like this one is requesting, they may boot you off their platform. 

Overcoming Common Financing HurdlesMortgage brokers excel at tackling challenges that often derail new investors:Low Down Payments: Brokers can find lenders offering low or no-down-payment loans, ideal for new investors with limited capital.Complex Income Streams: If you’re self-employed or have variable income, brokers can identify lenders that accept alternative documentation.Competitive Rates: Brokers have the leverage to negotiate better rates and fees, saving you thousands over the life of your loan.Pro Tip: Communicate your investment goals clearly with your broker so they can tailor their search to your needs, whether it’s a short-term fix-and-flip loan or a long-term rental property mortgage.3.

They don't communicate well, don't take responsibility for their actions, do not clean or maintain homes well, and will shaft you when it's time to leave.Other than that, it's a pretty good system.
