Fasten it back and pretend everything is OK.

Make sure they are not pretending to be somebody else.

Pretend nothing is happening and see what he does on the 1st and then figure out what to tell him?  

And I’m not here to pretend like this has all been rainbows and sunshine, either.

I pretend it doesn't exist.

Personally, I have nothing against fiduciary financial advisors, I just have a bias against the only ones in our district that pretend to be fiduciary suckering all the teachers into this awful high fees. 

COVID is pulling back the curtain and exposing the pretenders.

The only thing I may point out is that you have to let the bank know its an investment property when you purchase it...... you cant pretend its your permanent residence and then never live in it......

That being said, there are a ton of people that pretend to act as a "matchmaker" (mostly brokers) but these people tend to simply insulate you from the better deals and waste a lot of opportunity.

I like the idea, and not going to pretend there was some small thing they could have done to execute these programs better - in the end they are processing many times more loans in a week than the SBA normally does in a year.
