Quote from @Spencer Douglas: I regret writing this bad review, BUT I HAVE TO.

This requires vetting their claims by reviewing EDGAR filings, property records, court records, Secretary of State filings and communicating with those who know more like city government, a more experienced investor, etc.

I read @Dan Deppen's earlier response on this thread and I think what Scott might be doing is employing RMLOs to originate his loans, loan servicers to collect the payments and attorneys to review his contracts and make sure he is compliant with all the laws and regulations. 

You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”

Avoid common mistakes like underestimating expenses or overleveraging, and vet property managers carefully by checking reviews, references, and their management style.Good luck!

You can pay for expediting for plan reviews and the best way to "expedite" beyond that is to make sure that your engineer / consultants are submitting complete packages each review cycle.

For your 1st time, pay a Property/Land/Transaction Attorney to review the title commitment with you to make sure that there are only the outstanding liens on the property, and that the owner has title.- Collect Tax Certificate to verify Property Taxes are Paid- Get a current statement from the seller to verify the existing balance, if they are delinquent, you can get the bank on the phone to verify the amount to make the loan current.- Review the loan documents, there is most likely a due on sale clause, which is why you won't find a title company to process these for you.

I understand why carriers associate Condo/PUD construction with greater liability risk (I am sure being based in Philadelphia, a jury friendly city doesn't help either) but curious which carriers others are finding to price coverage without this exclusion and also price the coverage competitively.This also serves as a reminder to review the coverage when you hire a GC for more substantial or unique construction assignments. 

Happy to review what you have and advise if it could work.

It's likely a scam anytime they sound like AI or the grammar is weird or they use the word "kindly", if they ask for you to respond to them off-platform, if they say their employer will pay for it, if they ask if the dates they've specified are still open (when they can clearly see they are open on your calendar), if they ask for a video of your property (they probably want to set up a duplicate listing with your photos and video and scam others out of money), or if they want a long term booking and they have just joined the platform and have no reviews (could have been evicted from somewhere else, and hope a newbie will let them in with no background check, they'll end up not paying or credit card is bad).
