Would love to hear from investment centric lenders as to what the best strategies are and what people are doing! 

Hello BiggerPockets people!

There is a lot of info missing from being able to provide an educated opinion.  

@Orlundo HubbardMost investors (people looking to deploy capital) are in one or more of the following camps:1.

Get a bunch of people to tour the property together.

My assistant or I via Googling/people search sites, plus we use Batchleads, plus Fred down in FL (who used to be a private detective) on the hard-to-find ones........

Also, if you can do a renovation and pull money out to pay it off, I think that would be ideal.Another idea would be to utilize other people's money for the renovation and then pay them back whatever rate they desire through a simply interest note.How is the STR doing in the Smokies? 

People should create zillow listings with a link to this discussion thread so applicants understand the flimsy and unreliable nature of the platform.  

I would just add that people should be cautious to only buy properties that have a legal, properly permitted ADU.

People from all over is investing in real estate in Ohio and all of my client's would definitely agree.
