Would be happy to chat if you are considering investing in the area. 

My business partner and I already set up an LLC and we are looking to start acquiring RE with two other individuals through a joint venture type setup. 

The homes on the lake start at a million. 

I'd start out by looking for contractors that have working knowledge in the remodel business as they will know the scopes required to complete the project.

I just started watching a lot of videos on the BRRRR method and don't know what to do after doing those repairs.

I believe NYS law is 15 days to keep the things, but I have also read 30 days is standard. i want to get the property cleaned up and start working on it...

Best of luck getting started!

Started doing some site analysis and found 2 great locations or opportunities. 1.  

Starting out, I was pinching any penny I could, so would spend hours and hours measuring and building plans.  

Check the utilities have been moved out of her name and if they have, she left the key, you have it in writing that she wanted to leave and all of her stuff is gone, then I'd say go in and start getting it ready for the next tenant.
