Hello BP Community,I am designing contemporary mountain 2 bedroom / 2 bath cabin in Ohio with a lot of tourists interest year round and four season weather.Here's some amenities that are going to be in the cabin:hot tub on 2nd floor with walk out from each bedroom;wood burning fire place in great room;nice fire pit outside;debating: is putting soaking tub with electric fireplace will be a good investment?

We literally walked the property on live video with you and showed you everything you asked to see.

The best thing you can do is to get in touch with a few lenders and walk through your specific scenario. 

You don't have to spend a fortune and buy a house directly on the beach to do well, but your starting price point for a viable option in this market is around $350-$450k for a solid 2-3 bedroom oceanfront condo or around $500k for a 3-4 bedroom house within walking distance of the beach. 

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider. 

When it comes to repairs, I recommend talking to contractors who can walk through the property for you and give you a solid estimate.

Walked any houses and ran the numbers?

Have an unbiased person, maybe another local investor, not someone on your agent's team, walk the property if you can't walk it in person. 

The lender rep or broker you are working with should be able to walk you through each step so you have a firm understanding of what has to happen in order to get your file to closing.
