Don't get stuck in education / analysis paralysis.

They take decent care of the property, but I would get texts all the time telling me to fix many things (some valid, some completely unnecessary) and would get upset if I ever denied any of the requests.

I think what helped me was that she saw how much I was educating myself through books/podcasts/mentors, and I was able to show her my analysis on the first property we purchased and "sell" her on it.

So Agree Jeff many simply have no basic manners. and that can be from a texting society where brevity is all they know. 

My question is - do I have any recourse if the loan officer now deviates from what he initially told us verbally and in writing (I have the emails and text)?

I am going to continue to analyze the market until I am absolutely ready to buy with ample reserves and more specific analysis on comparable properties.

You should start creating a pitch deck with a financial analysis / summary and market study to share with people to get them excited about the project. 

He advised us to text him if we didn’t get a response from her.We obviously love the place, and it seems to fit our needs.

Feel free to shoot me a text and we can hop on a call.

My point is I'm not interested in having a second job.Currently doing analysis on identifying top zip codes for the facility based on criteria like age distribution, median income, education levels, % of home ownership.
