Reach out to the Marcus & Millichap offices in Columbus/Cleveland and have one of the MMCC commercial mortgage brokers produce a few quotes for you.If you don't have the time to research contact info / programs for 25-50 different lenders and make the calls/emails necessary to obtain optimal financing, hire a broker.

If you and your family are willing to house hack and use either an FHA 203k or homestyle renovation loan, the path of least resistance with the lowest risk, in my opinion.If you didn't want to house hack you could try a live-in-flip with those same loan programs! 

And the best part is they help you through the entire process of learning how to run the program with many tips for hosting an STR.

I am thinking two things:  First, do you have a spreadsheet or program of some sort that you can share with me so I can analyze a deal?

I suggest you have your contractor open the ceiling and see if they can trace back the water leak to its origins.

I went to someone who was considered a reputable broker and he said he had a great new program.

Before using such a program get your own estimates.   

However, the City initiated the "Buy Into Baltimore" open bid program (which we're interested in participating) through which you can bid/buy city-owned abandoned/vacant properties for redevelopment/resale.The problem is, there are so many blighted neighborhoods in Baltimore, it's tough to know where to start.

Navigating these delays and organizational instability proved to be immensely challenging.In my own investigation, I discovered that Farraway SG emerged as the new entity managing the loans, with its LLC tracing back to Tel Aviv.
