Trying to communicate with the guy is like trying to use sign language to speak hieroglyph. and he is not some sort of Rockstar either that's just too busy, because the title company doesn't even know who the guy is LOL. almost over! 

I know this is a subject fraught with strong emotions.

Communicate with tenants about things going on in the home Additional suggestions are welcome!

Hence, if you are not seeing credible opportunities on a regular basis, you need to refine your activities, such as identity building, marketing collateral, outreach rituals, peer connections, conference attendance, seller communication, etc.

Don't let emotions determine if you should purchase a property.

Residential is more emotional vs Commercial where it's likely a calculated decision..

Probably lower on the list, but if the deal sponsor is open, communicates well, and are they approachable. 

After you've moved in and the punch out/inspection items are corrected, please (for the sake of future "hostages") put non-emotional reviews on Yelp, Facebook, Angie's List, etc., that basically state "accept no verbal closing dates to be factual..." 

EducationI recommend hiring a good CPA and good bookkeeper that communicate well with each other and you will do great.  

Plus, a private loan to a homeowner has too much emotional baggage.
