After putting about $50k into the property,  I’m just about $25k from meeting my completion goal that includes stucco, drywall, and siding.

You can also read our current and past issues on our website or attend our in-person events around the nation to meet us in person. 

Have done 2 showings, with one more scheduled for tomorrow.

I’d recommend listening to the straight up Chicago investor podcast for local information, going to the variety of meetups that are in this great city, and meeting a lot of the people posting here. 

I would look at their policies and make sure both the coverage and deductibles meet your needs.

It is 5 minutes from the ocean and is in a small community that is nestled in a valley between the mountains that meet the shoreline.

This being said, I don't believe we'll be able to meet the income requirements to qualify for a conventional.This leads me to believe hard money or private lender is more the only option to get my foot in the door, use my business to make repairs at very good rates, build some equity then refi once the balloon is due. 

You should be going to real estate investor meetups to meet other, more experienced investors, instead of looking at markets farther away before you really know what you are doing.
