It probably will not be desirable next to your kitchen, depending on the configuration.

What @Russell Brazil is alluding too is that you might want to consider converting it back to a 5/3 to get your loan and if you really want to walk the hairy edge or what may or may not be legal, convert it back to your 4/3+ configuration later.

Havent tried any of those Skype configurations but for texting I ask my VAs to include me on all text responses (as a group text) so i can follow alongI don’t use VA companies, I just hire individual VAs - you can post on Upwork & you’ll get a ton of responses.
