I’m a recent graduate from community college and currently a senior at George Mason University, majoring in Information Technology with a concentration in cloud computing.

Even if it comes back blank because of lack of history, you at least rule out if they are lying.

Remember, this was a long time before we had use of the internet or anything else we think of as “technology” today1.

To summarize, I am fully equipped, licensed, and knowledgeable to handle all aspects of the actual repair, however my ignorance lies within the funding (hard money) and the business aspects of home flipping. 

You don't close until the property is delivered in the condition stipulated in the contract,l. Ie

I am very intrigued by the BRRRR method but my skills and expertise still lie in fix-and-flips.

I self-managed from TX (my properties are in FL) 10 years ago when there was very little technological support other than the Airbnb platform, and I did just fine.  

There is very poor response for the rental and many of the homes are lying around for rental for 2+ months.

Regardless of how real estate -ish we are here, there is a huuuuge technology component here, too.

They'll lie to you, avoid you, dodge your phone calls, whatever it takes.
