I asked preferred vendor but lady on phone said you can use anyone available.

I suspect that this lady may be involved in the scam and then takes a cut of any money wired to the supposed lender. 

I tried telling her there would be other houses but this lady was just crazed. 

Lady I spoke with back in January made me mad.

I Just had a lady call me on a deal we did 6 years ago for and she always calls me for anyone in distress, or needs to sell (that one was from a lender that knew I did flips). 

@Benjamin Barredo I have a lady from the Philippines who is a VA and also trains cold callers to do calls for real estate investors.

I’m fortunate to have found a very nice lady whose willing to mentor me.

Do I gamble my last dime on a single-family cash cow, or do I roll the dice on a flip and hope Lady Luck is on my side?

i cover pest control and lawn care on my stuff. keeps down on issues and i know the place looks good. for my student rentals i also build in a quarterly cleaning fee where my cleaning lady comes through and does a deep clean. extra eyes on stuff and parents happily pay it to ensure their kids have a solid spot. pass through cost for me and well worth it. 

It's rarely the guys, it's usually the ladies that do this behavior.
