You need to build a great team of people. 

If you demolished inside and they see it you cannot get a standard HELOC you will need to go hard money as most lenders are going to tell you that any worker who stepped on the site can lien the property and HELOC's do not use a new full title report, they rely on the title report of the last sale (again like I started with if people DIY record after closing it's a problem). 

Most people are not willing to do this but if you're scrappy you can pay wildly different prices for the exact same thing. 

Hello Moshin,Stress and anxiety can rob us of our time & peace of mind, so I totally understand why you are considering this.

I would love to connect with people who have experience in this area or even a mentor.

As for asking for things when people are there I would put a stop to it.

Lakewood is a very sought after rental area with high rental rates, and a lot of people will pay high rents to live in close proximity to Lakewood, and downtown Cleveland, which this area is right in the middle of those two, as well as right by lake erie.  

People told me to invest in Columbus, OH.

HVAC, electrical, major plumbing, etc.I know for a fact there are a lot of people not following the ARS on that. $1,000 doesn't get you very far these days.

Would love to hear peoples’ thoughts.The property is a 1000 sq ft SFH on 9000 sq ft lot with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, in good condition.
