Having said that, before you dismiss a sponsor for violating this guideline, take some steps to ensure you are communicating with the right person, and that communication is actually established.

The wire instructions I received were also different from the entity listed on the contract, but in my case, they explained that the funds needed to be sent directly to the contractors handling the rehab, which aligned with the project’s structure.I proceeded, and everything went smoothly, with clear communication and regular updates throughout the process.

I also do what I say I'm going to do. 100% agree - best way to not get sued is to take do your research upfront on your tenants, take care of the property and be communicative.

This open line of communication fosters trust and ensures that investors are well-informed and can make strategic decisions based on the broker’s insights.

If you don't have a virtual assistant yet, I'd recommend getting one to help with things like tenant communications and coordinating contractors.

In any event, better communication could have been had to keep you in the know!
