I just completed a "free BRRRR" in Monroe personally and helped another investor complete a Free BRRRR in gastonia as well!  

Born and raised in Lake Arrowhead and personally own several STRs in Arrowhead, and own an insurance business where we specialize in hard to insure homes and STRs in the mountains!

Today I simply go in on these with other investors as part of a passive real estate investment club, where each person invests $5K at a time and we vet new deals together each month.

Myself, significant other, and my close friend/business partner have been renovating his personal residence for the past few months with the intention of renting it soon.

If the person performing snow removal services is an employee of the snow removal company then that company should maintain workers comp insurance.

From my personal experience, each lender has its strengths and weaknesses.

personal finances and mortgage with local lender How did you add value to the deal?

Wondering what, if anything, I could do to spruce up the place to make it more attractive to a potential tenant OR if there are ideas of what I could personally do to it that would create some nice cash flow for me (co-working spaces, etc.).

Any contacts of a good reliable person in the area - would like to set up a relationship with them and keep them in my list of contacts for future work.  

If it were me, I would try to buy out the current owner, and do a partnership with your money person.
