The communication has been awful and the seller is furious over the one week delay, mostly because the lender will not commit to a date.

And I'm four lines of communications away, yet still hear about it.

BP is far better in that realm of how to actually communicate with folks..

At one point I ran into a member of the Jake and Gino community at a local meetup and learned that he was able to purchase an apartment out of state without using only his money so I inquired about his experience and opened a line of communication.

@Landon Lehmann many investors borrow against their primary residence equity to invest.Getting a HELOC can also be the path of least resistance and cheapest.There is risk though, that if you investment results in a loss or lawsuit that you could lose some or all of that money and more (lawsuit).Getting more insurance is typically easier than setting up an LLC and meeting all the requirements to separate your business from your personal assets.What are you doing to source potential flip properties?

-What should my communication expectations be?

Most new home communities have super HOA restrictions on investors, like you have to live in the home a year before renting and/or they only allow a certain % of rentals like 1% or all kinds of other roadblocks.Plenty of opportunity in North Texas, but for the most part stay away from new builds for rentals.

None of these changes were communicated until right before closing.

In hindsight, I could have communicated better, so I’m sharing my experience for other hosts.Guest booked an 11-night stay.

And if you are subscribed to a monitoring plan that includes cellular backup, your Base Station will still communicate with our cellular connection back-up."
