Is there any real estate investors here in that area who can share some ideas and give me some advice?

I personally hope to meet like-minded people from BiggerPockets, to be able to exchange ideas about real estate investments in general and to build up a network.I am currently trying to find the most suitable investment strategy for me and the European market.

@Matthew LealProbably a good idea to post what type of projects you are looking to fund. 

Any ideas?

I don't think it will create any equity that you could pull out, but if you are planning on keeping the building, it seems like a good idea.

It isn't that i'm not curious what the appraisal would come in at, but I will likely be getting one when i go to refinance in 6-18 months and all the value would do right now is: 1) Give me a more accurate idea of what the bank would value the property at2) Delay closing as appraisals are 3 weeks out minimum right now3) If it comes in high the seller could use that info to back out4) Add additional costs (around $950) to the closingP.s. - I will still be ordering an inspection.Thanks in advance!

@Ethan Henning Looking near the Bellwood Quarry development is a great idea.

I really liked the idea of being process oriented vs results oriented. 

It does not sound like that is the case.A discussion with your CPA or financial advisor who speaks this particular language would not be a bad idea.

You can try reaching out via the vacation rental platforms to other hosts in the immediate area of that property to see what they do about cleaning - to get ideas or recommendations.
