Maybe it's because it's beaten into our heads as RE agents, but I'm particularly careful when emailing, texting or calling applicants.   

They canceled the reservation and sent an email saying we wouldn't be penalized. 

Just shoot me a message or email to set something up. 

Stacy, Be encouraged, you're in a temporary set-back on a worthy road to wealth-building & financial freedom.

Friend may offer temporary housing at a hotel or another empty rental. 

You send a request by email. 

Oh one more tip, ask specific questions, like who is going to not say “yeah im great with communication” , be wary of this trap too because you want the PMs to focus on doing their jobs rather than answering 20 emails from each investor each week, time is our most valuable resource please don’t take up too much of it, when you say “yes” to something you are also saying “no” to something else (opportunity costs)Questions to ask:- what is the eviction process like after COVID 19 in your city (ask for details and differences beforehand)- what are the city rental regulations, what is the process to obtain a rental license, how would you rate this city compared to surrounding cities on difficulty with this process and working with landlords- how do you handle late fees and payment plans, if a tenant calls and says they’re going to be 5-9 days late but have been on time for 6 months what is your response- if multis - how do you handle tenant conflicts- why do they work in property management and how did they get there- if you could invest in any city in the state where would you and why (I love this question because it will tell you if they know where the most profitable areas are for investors and ROIs and hidden costs)- how is water/water bills handled in this city

I can prove that I had about 100 emails back and forth with different lenders and I also have a denial letter.

The 2 deals I did find after, were gone before I got an Email back.

I hit the like button on the properties in my price range (C+ class/working class hoods) and get emails of when they go pending.
