I would happily pay for the service.Is there anything similar out there that might be almost as good or even better?

It is a small town, definitely a tertiary market right now, but that is where opportunity is going to be found.I think LTR, in the right location, can provide enough revenue annually to cover all holding and leverage costs while the resident pays down the principle and the demand in the city sustains slow and steady appreciation. 

Based on my initial analysis, I get the sense that BRRRs are still quite viable in the three Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus.

You might not cash flow right away, but even just offsetting what you were paying in rent while building equity, getting tax benefits, and learning how to be a landlord is a game changer.

We almost went with a loan that we have to pay all the cost upfront and then get reimbursed on the back end and that was just not something we were willing to do.

Quote from @Jeffrey Duck: I see no reason to pay an attorney for this, but it's your dime.The current lease was between you and Person B.

Determine at what percentage of completion you'll pay for work done. i.e.

It’s paid off, I would “like” to leave it that way & maximize the cash flow while paying down the heloc between the rental & other income.  

The guests refused to pay.  

As much as I'd love to rehab the properties to boost the ARV (which was the initial goal), funds are tight right now to do that so as-is is the way for me to go.Absolutely.
