So you go to a HML and show them the deal, they like it, they finance it and you get it done much quicker (for a price) but once it is done you can now go to a bank and get a normal loan to pay off the HML and hopefully get some or all of your money back from the rehab.

They have the best customer service and communication I’ve encountered.

That is where the price remains the same, but at the closing table, the sellers pay for some or all of the buyer's closing costs.

Haven’t done a lot of investing (2 rentals), but my lesson is don’t let a PM get away with poor communication.  

From there it took four months of communication before they agreed upon a price.

It took a lot of smooth talking and communication to keep everything going.ARV appraisal came back significantly lower then what we needed. 

You can require a different method of communication but that won't help the rudeness issue.

I do have several rentals that I self manage and I communicate with tenants via text.

Once you realize you’re being pursued by a scammer, it’s best not to communicate with them.
