The three reasons that come up the most are: 1) they’re not comfortable with handing over their money to a developer without knowing if he’s trustworthy and capable of delivering the property as agreed, 2) they feel they’re priced out of the market and 3) they don’t have either enough cash or access to financing.

I feel like I got scammed but also my fault for failing on the due diligence .

After reading the other comments, I feel like you hit the nail on the head!

Feel free to reach out if you have any specific househacking questions! 

They also continually mention how you can come to these forums for valuable insight.Assuming I have some nefarious intent by replying with a condescending "WHY", or it's as simple as a fourth down play (while not addressing my question) has made my journey here disappointing.I'll leverage rich content within this site and stir clear of commenting in the forums.

If this is your first property/new PM, don’t take the PM’s word for a fact, especially if there is some info you feel they are not providing… I had a PM who claimed they got no HUD payment for a given month.

I feel like "allowing" their mail to come to your address 1. encourages them to break the law and look in your mailbox for their mail 2. could make you responsible for their mail in some way.

I feel your pain.

As an agent, you should be fighting for better control for your investor properties not just lip service to what there feelings tell you.

This would be done either as a virtual signal or a feel good.
