I recommend Lowes.

I’d recommend you reach out to him. 

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I've got 200,000 earmarked for investment, and I'm looking to dive into the BRRRR, or the Fix and Flip strategies, My focus is rather on a few smaller properties in upstate New York—think Orange, Sullivan, Delaware, Ulster counties, and the scenic Borscht Belt,Any tips or recommendations?

Quote from @Cody Miller: I have been in my home for 7 years and have accumulated some equity and wouldn't mind using this to buy a rental Most people will recommend you cash out some of that equity and use it to purchase a rental.

Ask him if he wants a good recommendation from you.On the other hand, with six weeks to go, how much do you want to elevate this? 

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

There's so much important info you can learn about neighborhoods (and individual properties) that simply cannot be conveyed by peoples' opinions, photos, or even video.As with all parts of due diligence: although you can (and should) seek the input of experienced pros, at the end of the day, the due diligence buck stops with you.Good luck out there!

If you decide to seek private/hard money they will typically require prior expereince. 

If you have not run your own business beyond real estate before, I strongly recommend that you get in touch with SCORE (Service Corp of Retired Executives) at www.score.org.They are a free resource (part of SBA) that will help you to evaluate the financials of the company you're looking at buying, build a business plan and to understand what you're getting into. 

Do you have any reviews/recommendations on property management companies in Kent County.
