Respond to "unmatched housing requests" as well as other tenant leads.

Thanks for responding!

Usually it takes them weeks to respond and they come up with some crazy stuff like by business is paying for the trip and need to pay with a certified check outside the platform.

Most of those specialty programs (first responder loans, downpayment assistance, etc) are based on local state/county grant programs that back the loan.

Eventually, after finally admitting he could not obtain a loan, he failed to return my capital, and completely stopped responding just long enough until the banks were unable to reverse any payments.

Property is in Granite City, tenant lost his job, and has stopped responding to texts and emails. 

Heads up that Dave Meyer and Henry Washington responded to this question with their own out-of-state investing experiences on yesterday's episode of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast: How to Buy Multiple Rental Properties a Year (Is It Possible?)

I was so nervous about how he’d respond.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and share your insights River!
