Quote from @Adam Macias: AI is sure getting spooky..I'm working on a AI Agent for inbound and outboundfollow ups and it sure does sound exactly like a person.Got the breathing, the "umms" and "ahhhs"and it can be programmed to say and respond to anythingyou want.I may record a demo of it.But this is the future and people are already used toautomation and calling their doctor's office only to hear a virtual receptionist prompt.But those automations suck.

Ideally to answer more questions about day to day of dealing with tenants, common issues and how to troubleshoot, communication, how to setup to receive payments etcAnd not so much about findings rental deals etc. 

I have been in communication with many lenders.

No attorney-client, fiduciary, or professional relationship is established through this communication.

The best way I’ve found is to:Disclose as much as possible about the property and the borrower early onKeep communication open and consistent with the lenderPay attention to red flags—if a lender goes dark during the process or stops giving clear updates, that’s often a sign the deal is in troubleAt the end of the day, surprises still happen in this business, but having backup options and strong relationships with multiple lenders can make all the difference.

Misalignment on scope vs. line items happens more often than most people admit, so you’re not alone there.A couple things I’ve seen work well between draws:Negotiate with contractors to accept partial payments upfront with balance due once the draw hits.Use short-term private money (friends, family, or local investors) to float a portion, secured by the property.Line up business credit (cards or LOCs like you’re doing) but be strategic so interest doesn’t eat your margins.On the line items, the key is communicating with your lender early — if you can show the work is completed and in budget overall, many will be flexible even if the numbers per category don’t match perfectly.

For me, the key to keeping projects smooth with investors has always been clear upfront communication and setting expectations early.

It also has a bunch of really unique benefits/tools for your rental portfolio (Lease Indication Tool, Expense Tracking, Maintenance Requests, Rent Collection, Tenant Communication, etc.) in one central place.

No communication or reason given by FB, same as when it was banned.
