. - We use chase and have always been happy with them! 

There’s a big difference between an area that attracts stable tenants and one where you’ll be chasing rent every month.Personally, I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here, and it’s been a mix of cash flow and appreciation.

Michael, I regret that this is happening to you but I think you need to get past chasing rent for this month and realize that there's only one way this ends.

I'm copying my response from a previous post:1) Investors were chasing Class A rentals from 2012-2020, before their values exceeded their pre Great Recession highs and they wouldn't cashflow at purchase anymore.2) So, investors started chasing Class B rentals in 2020-2022 because of #1 above.

.- Communication is poor, I have to repeatedly chase for updates.

That in mind, I wouldn't chase these deals, especially if you are in "growth mode". 

Hey @Gabe Chase, Doooood.

There were several mistakes made on my tax returns that I pointed out, which required going back and forth with their tax preparers, and asking repeatedly to cut to the chase and have a phone call.

If the latter you may just be an independent “bird dog” for a wholesaler competing with everyone else. 

Other team members can fill your gaps of experience, lack of credit, etc.Be ok taking a smaller percentage of "something" rather than chasing all of nothing.
