Most turnkey providers and promoters will provide very good communication, will help you come up with an investing strategy and will help you through the purchasing process at no additional cost.

The seller has been extremely difficult to communicate with (according to their agent).

Credit rating 815+, with no debt.After the application denial, I've emailed requesting them to remove all the data I've uploaded, and delete my profile, and opt out of further communication. 

She apparently had no idea all this stuff was going on and helped become communicative with the police as well.  

Your letter brought to light some points we hadn't even thought to make in our communication to our existing tenant.I have done a lot of reading on BP, and a common theme I notice is that "existing tenants when purchasing property = not good" and I'm really hoping for the best outcome here.

I wouldn't bother signing with a realtor and communicating with a contractor until you are 100% serious about an area and want to pull the trigger.

Ask them about the sponsors integrity, communication, and ability to deliver on their projections.

Communication with your parents is vital.

@Jennifer Gardner I own a vacation rental in south lake tahoe (city limits) and manage communications for few others in the county, as well as in over the Stateline in Nevada.
