I’m currently working on a deal in Fort Lauderdale & actively looking for financing solutions like hard money or private lending.

Personally, I've had success in Linden, Southern Orchards, South of Main, Driving Park, and Franklinton to name a few neighborhoods in Columbus. 

HELOCs are generally provided to properties that are held in the owner's personal name.Are your family members not interested in refinancing the property?

Manage the entire P&L for your clients as if it's your own money.4.

The guy on Youtube that boasts about buying properties with no money out of his pocket and using other people's money from his "community" to pay for closing and carrying costs, said in a video in June that he had 10 Due on Sale called in AZ alone from Jan 2024 to May 2024.

Personally I’d do a 1031 to save $40k, I’d skip the LLC, increase the limit on my umbrella, and call it a day.

However, she has requested a Rent Credit.I have no problem letting her clean since that will save us money and allow her to get in there faster.

That will be the best spot to meet an investor friendly agent in person or at least meet other investors in your markets that can help connect you to the right agents.

It does take numbers to make money.  

Personally I don't ask for pics unless there is an issue and she sends them to me automatically.IMHO if you have a good cleaner that you trust, asking for photos is probably superfluous.
