@Michael GlaspieIf you have clients that you do a ton of business with - I’d subtly get to know their favorite restaurants or shopping places.

Enough information in a timely fashion to keep you updated but also allow the Property Manager to effectively run their business without putting you through an unnecessary emotional roller coaster ride.

Shop around for the brokerage that provides you with the best terms.

If you look back at how almost every area has gentrified in the past, they all start the same way with 'artists' migrating from an overpriced neighborhood into a new low-income neighborhood, and opening up coffee shops & other millennial-esque stores.

It is a piece of crap 1960s condo on the bus route close to University of Texas with coffee shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.

@Benjamin Douglas I would shop around and get some estimates for different lenders. 

I assume this also means you’re going to go to the various supply stores, shop for everything and get it to the job site?

I shopped a couple rates from hard money lenders in my home state and selected the best rates for this pending deal.

In 2018, these "artists" can be replaced by millennial hipsters that open coffee shops, juice bars, and hot yoga studios in low income areas subsequently causing the area to get increasingly better over time.Has anyone else noticed this trend?

Good to know that maybe I should have shopped and negotiate a little more when it came down to lenders.
