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

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.

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

Always ask for references and examples of similar projects (pictures)The Red Flags you have to Avoid:Lowball bids (too good to be true often is).Poor communication or delays in responding.Hesitation to provide references or sign a detailed contract.Cash-only deals or pushy behavior to secure the job.

@Megan Mason recommend you watch some of the videos from @James Wise youtube channel on S8 evictions.We've been dealing with S8 tenants for over 20 years and they are NOT a cure-all for rent collection challenges.Since rents in Class A & B areas exceed S8 limits, most of your S8 rentals are going to be in Class C/D areas. 

In 13 years of owning the townhouse I have never had any communication from the HOA board and no notifications re any annual meetings.

After receiving these funds, he and his partner has completely disappeared, leaving us with no communication or updates for over 2.5 years.

They also state that they do not communicate to the channels unless you attribute a booking to the channel (there is a spot on a booking that says "Tracking - Listing Site".  

Communication - 1-2 weeks before a new trade starts they should walk the project with you to go through any last minute logistics and make sure they have a crew ready to go.3.

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.
