Lessons learned? Challenges?

Brick siding is preferred for future rehabs, try and purchase with existing driveway (this one had no concrete or gravel bed) and ALWAYS have contractors sign a lien waiver as work is completed.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

As a licensed agent, I served as the listing agent. Worked with a local, regional bank in establishing a 12 month access line of credit.
