The 1st red flag question he went over made me laugh.

HUD has been more responsive than the people supposedly representing me at Chase.

I have been investing for 8 years & Jonathon answered a lot of questions for me at events when I got started so I have followed him closer than others. 

Ask how they intend to pay for a year or two of rent.I ask for a statement of assets and discuss any red flags or ambiguities with them.

@Chris Blackburn, while I can't speak to this specifically, there are a few red flags I see in your post.1: A Realtor has to be a member of the national association of realtors, an industry trade group primarily focused on your typical home buyer.  

And when a property cycles back to the market, it's not always a red flag – sometimes it's just market dynamics at work.

Is this a red flag, or could it just mean there’s an untapped market here?

Are there any red flags or challenges specific to this neighborhood that I should keep in mind?

I have just received the same callThis a legitimate business model for a STR company, but the website raised a lot of red flags and I would not feel comfortable doing business with them.

I would love to house hack but unfortunately live in Los Angeles, so house hacking is a bit out of reach for me at the moment.
