They've been difficult to communicate with so again I am frustrated and started talking to my family members about this.

Then call them and make sure that they are content with the process and that the communication process is adequate. 

🧐You need to communicate very effectively and more precisely, almost with surgical precision, what the seller will get out of this deal such as:- Some money upfront- Money every month for the next 3 -  5 years (however small, it is coming in)- They get a big check in 3 - 5 years or even as early as 6 months or 1 year - You promise to carry on their legacy by restoring the house its original glory!

It all comes down to communication.

Further communicating with current owner, there is one main meter which she is responsible for.

First, some general tips for you on red flags to watch out for:- Asking for a large loan application fee or other fees upfront- Unusually low interest rates for a hard money/private lender (real hard money/private lenders aren’t loaning money at 4-5% but fake ones usually advertise those rates)- Email communications with really bad English/grammar indicating the sender might be from out of the country- Claiming they loan nationwide in all 50 states (most non-bank, hard money/private lenders operate in only certain states and don’t lend nationwide)- Claiming they can do loans from $5,000 to $50 million (most lenders that will loan you $5,000 can’t do a loan for $50 million, and most lenders that can do a loan for $50 million aren’t going to bother doing a loan for $5,000)- Offering to send you a photo of their drivers license (fake lenders tend do this to convince you they’re legit but I guarantee you it’s not their license they’re showing you and a real lender would never do this)- Not caring about your qualifications or the merits of the deal (basically willing to “approve” you no matter what you bring to them since they know they’ll never actually fund it)- Terms that seem just way too good to be trueThat’s just a few things to watch out for.

It would certainly help me communicate with sub contractors.  

But don't hire a professional PM company and then try to backend the process by communicating with your tenant. 

Apparently something was missed or there was a communication mix up and then the termite company had to come back and write a new report. 

She has communicated over the phone and via e-mail very professionally with me.
