Using multiple digital solutions, I've automated communications, pricing, and digital access (locks).

We have all landed on @David Moudy because of his communication, diligence, and aligning of incentives.

Finding someone who has really great communication skills is also important.

It is their role to communicate with each party separately in preparation for closing. 

I'm also a real estate agent so if you want to shoot me a message then we can take this conversation offline and it'd be a easier to communicate as well.

Additionally, communication regarding the status and making sure that their move in day has not changed probably would have tempered the situation

Long answer - Yes, as long as you don't dive in without doing a lot of research and communicating heavily with whoever you're planning on investing with!

Just FYI'ing them that this is the service I use for communications, rent payments etc. 

If that's the case, then he might believe there is a high probability that you will be scared away from the property by a certain type of issue (and rightly so), even though he or she is unwilling to communicate those explicitly in the listing.Bottom line - I think you follow up regularly and try to get a good idea for why the seller is averse to you using traditional or FHA financing - perhaps with a starting guess that there are some skeletons that are likely to be uncovered in inspection and due diligence.I'd strongly suggest that you do not turn to another source of financing to close the deal on this first purchase.
