Overall, it sounds like this whole thing stemmed from a communication or integrity issue that occurred at the loan officer level.

Think about it, on a simple level, you can create a workflow for AI and how it should interact w/ inbound leads on your website and the AI can communicate and ask those people certain questions and then at some point do things like set up a appointment based on a specific answer after making it through a conversation (like funnel).

Do I think the fire dept could have communicated more clearly upfront, maybe, but they did mail out to all registered owners the standards. 

Hey Aaron, any movement with KASA since we communicated how many months back? 

He threatened me if I'm not paying him he gonna put lien on my property, I've never encounter these thing in my whole life...He seems very cold blood and likes to take his client to court or put lien on the property, looks like he had done these stuff many times in his career...I just don't suggest you to work with him for the below reasons:1.He is never willing to communicate about the project progress and he just notify you that you have to pay for next-phase otherwise he will STOP the work and take all the stuff out2.He will never take responsibility on warranty or the stuff he had done, if you ask, that is all your fault, and you have to pay your own bills3.Finally if nothing of these lightly threaten works, he will say: "I will give you 3 days, if you don't pay me, I will put lien on your property, I will take you to the court"I never done business into this situation in my whole life, but it looks like that's how Robert Mincey makes money and if you work with him, you will probably end up like me with tons of sleepless nights...If there are any chance, in the future I will post my whole experience while working with him.Hope this helps!

It's advisable for both spouses to communicate openly about such financial decisions and consider consulting with a legal or financial professional for tailored advice.

But then it was a nightmare of communication, we soon realized that we had to do a bunch of songs and dances to convince them to sponsor our deal, it took 4 or 5 days for them to make time to sit down with us only to tell us that we needed to schedule another meeting in another 4 or 5 days to get Tyler on the phone and let us try and convince them to sponsor us and by that time someone else was awarded the deal and we lost out.

We have two people who part of their job is to communicate with our investors.  

-I'm fairly careful with communication , but again, I know doing business online is way riskier, but I want to ask: Typically, I would trust someone who seems very in-depth, informative (gives statistics and numbers), and basically would give me thorough steps (including worst-case scenarios and what would best fit my situation)^^would people who have experience say that even with the above, some agents/lenders/PMs would still be sort of out to get your money and do a lousy job?

While this project progressed smoothly, it reinforced the importance of clear communication and coordination with contractors to ensure renovations are completed efficiently.
