Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Sean Haran- thanks ...if you havent already done this - make sure to get fully pre approved with a lender  in order to make sure you can qualify for the loan amt you think you will need .

@Quiche LynnIf a home is in foreclosure the options are to work something out with the lender, pay them the amount that is past due or file bankruptcyHow they get the money to pay the lender what is owed can be from any source, but unless that lender is brought current or has some type of arrangement they typically do not stop foreclosure

I mean I guess if a lender has no idea what they are doing you could but I would sure not plan on it. 

Finding good contractors, negotiating & budgeting Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The property is under my LLC and one lender said they can do HELOCs just not under my LLC only under my name. 

Hey @Hunter GibsonI am a local lender in the area and I've helped multiple investors in Cincinnati.

You'll start seeing the same recommended title companies and hard money lenders.

Speak with a VA lender for specifics, but you can 100% do it.Good luck!

Is a reasonable seller really going to flat out reject any buyer who wants to see historical data?
