If photos aren't an option, a quick reinspect on 4 point will likely do the trick.If your county was declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm, the bank will likely follow up to tell you what they require.  

The question for the BP community is: what should I look for when I visit the site?  

Why didn’t you take pictures when you visited last time?

Thank you ahead of time!! 

. -  It's great that you're planning ahead and saving for your first house hack.

Just wondering if you went ahead with Matt Hewitt?

We would like someplace family can visit 2x  a year and VRBO it the resto of the time as I should be able to have no mortgage on the property. 

I only mentioned it for when you went to visit the property.

The priority is finishing the basement.We are needing some input on if we should go ahead and move forward with this HELOC to help fund our future renovations/future investments or if we should be using our own cash.

Rafael - I would just go ahead and ask the lender you're thinking about using for the cash-out refinance.
