I'm in Chesterfield as well, looking to buy.   

I own properties in Cleveland and have done well with them.

Of these professional wholesalers, nearly all of them will be well capitalized professional real estate investors or large businesses doing hundreds of deals annually with many years in and around every part of the real estate investment journey.

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.

That they don't service their loans well, lag on draws, say they can close fast but don't etc etc.

There is a ring camera system that has a job site security package as well some of my investors use for their projects do not have internet it works off cellular connection. 

But RC builds in areas with good schools and those homes rent well.

I believe it'll help with eventual resale of the property as well.

It seems like you have some very solid goals of multiple income streams, and a well calibrated risk tolerance. 

Hi: Jamie, hope you're doing well.
