Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I suspect an experienced local investor would not be scared off by this house because they could physically see and understand how to address the issues in a common sense affordable way.

And of course in REI, that's too local so some will see flat, some will see 15%.

Hi @Maureen McGuire I'm so happy to hear you went with a local mentoring program that allows a hands on approach and personal attention.

What are the local regulations to be aware of?

It's a bit of a quiet area but local people may find a STR of interest there.

Then had to call my plumber and have him confirm this over the phone.

Mathew, From my perspective you need to talk with local real estate investors and a quality realtor to determine what is needed as well as paint choice options.

My go-to with smaller value properties is a commercial loan, which usually is based on either 15% or 20% down and my favorite lender locally for this is currently between 5%-6% depending on the rate-lock period (between 3-10 years) and the loan is amortized over 20 years.That's my go-to strategy. 

Once you get closer to making the move, reach out to local agents to get up-to-date info from the MLS.
