I will be sure to be upfront on the lease about the guidelines and specifics like that including cleanliness expectations, late rules, eviction notices, communication, maintenance, etc.

Be a good communicator and responsive to tenant's reasonable requests.

Communication is key

A certified letter is good because they sign for it, acknowledging receipt, any other forms of written communication you can get to document that they were notified of the hazard probably also helps. 

In fact, its become quite apparent that number crunching ranks rather low on the necessary skills for real estate compared to networking and communication and other business skills. 

I've communicated with other agents in Nevada that provided me data with median rents, cap rates, how much I would need to put down to get it to "cash flow/break even" with higher interest rates, etc.

Just communicate this with your new tenants and you’ll be fine.

I had tried to establish direct communication with jesse, but the GC did not want me talking to him.

After receiving these funds, he and his partner has completely disappeared, leaving us with no communication or updates for over 2.5 years.

I do feel they need to be better at communicating assurance in fiscal solvency to their LPs, but at any given moment they could theoretically pause infilling, and pay the pref distributions.
