I appreciate any perspective anyone with similar experience can share. 

Can anyone share their experiences or advice on how to make this process smoother? 

Thanks for sharing, it definitely makes me feel better about just having a 2 million dollar insurance coverage. 

Happy to share some resources for that. 

I’m sharing my experience so others can avoid the same issue. 

I currently live in Toledo, where I’m working on a live-in flip with my duplex.Here’s what I bring to the table:Hands-on experience with construction and property maintenance.Knowledge and skills for value-add projects, especially on smaller properties.A passion for learning and growing my portfolio using strategies like buy-and-hold and BRRRR.I’m looking to connect with:Local investors in the Toledo area who can share insights or collaborate.Contractors, property managers, and other real estate professionals.Anyone interested in sharing ideas, advice, or potential partnerships.If you’re in or near Toledo and would like to connect, feel free to reach out!

If you ask nicely and promise not to share, you can usually get good financial information on the properties that are currently operating as a STR.If you're just starting out looking, you may not be aware of just how many cabins out there are poor quality builds due to the lack of codes.

Any tips or tricks?

@Lily Jensen, I've come across a few banks that will do HELOC's for investment properties that I can share with you here locally in Florida.
