is there a good phone app?

Okay BPers - I'm back yet again to pester you with obvious questions, but not so obvious to me since I've called the entire Baltimore City Government and no one seems to know how to use a phone (Called at least 10 numbers - maybe it's a snowday?).

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

you will find tons of examples, poor signage, little security, worn paint, no one answers the phone, etc. start on google maps, street view, then start driving. you'll know it when you see it.Public Storage/Extra Space Storage it aint!

Texas division of banking (whatever they are called in that state) probably should have done something but appears they didn’tDHS actually is one of the departments that prosecuted criminal financial crimes - most think of them only as border patrol as their major function but they also investigate this type of activityhttps://www.dhs.gov/hsi/investigate/financial-crimeTime will tell if these cases ever go anywhere but for those involved probably just happy someone finally picked up a phone to atleast listen to IRS criminal is another good one to sic on them..

Good questions and not my area of expertise so I'm not going to pretend I have good answers there other than suggest talking to a good estate planning attorney and tax professional, because that's their area of expertise.

Secondly is to outsource everything to a professional so you are basically acting as the developer/project manager.

You gonna put someone in default because they didn’t answer a phone?
