Even my mentor at that time and this was 15 years ago, tried getting on the phone with them.

Quote from @Drew Sygit:My apologies w/my earlier post (below), I was on my phone and not laptop so it wasn't tagging.I will if I may add some additional thoughts...1) The appraisals I've seen in these markets are no where near Zillow estimates. 

Willing to chat more over the phone or Zoom if you’re interested. 

Are there local hard money lenders that will actually talk to you or is it pretty hard to get a real person on the phone?

Morris Invest has phone call slots available TOMORROW!  

So, you knew right away that this was something that YOU should have been able to solve over the phone by asking them to check this switch???

I created a Meeting for each prospect and enter their name, phone & email.

What I would like though is to get the feedback of people who have done similar types of partnerships and have learned through experience the pitfalls that I should watch out for when investing using this or a similar model.Because of this post I have already had a phone call with a mentor that gave me some good advice and I am just looking to continue to get some feedback from other experienced investors too.

(I am avoiding phone numbers and websites so this response doesn't get redacted)Good luck, Janet

Try contacting them on the number listed for tenants or use someone else's phone.
