Firstly, I think this answer will be highly dependent on each investors current situation along with their long term goals!  

Do they provide exclusive leads, or are they shared among multiple investors?

Depending on the age of the house, even if "fully renovated" it may not have any or enough insulation.

Depends on the brokerage you have, but the one we use currently has a rate at 5.83% at 50% LTV.

While we currently live in Stephens City, VA, we’re open to investing in other states where the numbers make sense.Real Estate Goals & StrategyInvestment Focus: Buy-and-hold rentals, short-term rentals, and potential multifamily propertiesMarkets of Interest: Open to investing outside of Virginia in cash-flowing, landlord-friendly marketsCurrent Stage: Learning, networking, and preparing for our first investment propertyLong-Term Vision: Build a diversified rental portfolio that provides financial freedom and generational wealthWhy I’m HereNetworking: Connecting with experienced investors, agents, lenders, and property managersLearning: Gaining insights from those who’ve built successful portfoliosCollaborating: Open to partnerships, joint ventures, and creative financing strategiesWith my sales background, I understand the importance of negotiation, deal-making, and relationship-building—all of which I plan to leverage in real estate.

These can provide good cash flow and are easier to manage than larger commercial properties, especially when you're just starting out.Also, when I was starting, I found local meetups super helpful.

With the property needing lots of work, I provided a solution to the owner.

but they don't provide current rent, value, what they have capital wise, etc. 

@Adam Newman you will want to confirm this with the bank but you can’t take a loan out to borrow for part of the down payment so you’ll need to provide all the funds yourself or have a gift from someone for that which you don’t have.If you have a gift from someone to bridge the 20%, that would be ideal.  

When it comes to furniture/design it depends.
