Thank you for all the replies. It has helped a lot for what I need to be doing. 

Thank you, I will do that. 

Andrews, NC

I can do that. I have looked at photos but thank you for the idea of that website.

It’s my childhood home and was given to me if I would pay for rehab. 

Hello!

When using the BRRRR calculator I am trying to run the numbers, and others. The calculator will not let me put $0 on the loan amount/acquisition cost. Lowest it will let me do is 1$. Any way around this or is this something BiggerPockets could look into adding in? Or is this not a thing you would bother running the numbers if you bought a house for $0? This would be perfect for inherited homes and for properties passed down.

Thank you! 

Hello! 
I was unsure where to post this here or somewhere else. 
I have a SFH that needs moderate to major renovations throughout the home. I'm bad a choosing the right finishes in the scope of what colors work well and what doesn't. To avoid clashing theme's and colors. my goal is to rent this home out preferably short term but I may do long term.

My question is, being my first investment home, should I bother with hiring some kind of designer to help with the material choices/colors/styles/etc or keep with the contractor and work toward a plan and scope of work that way? Or can/will the property manager play that roll in advising what comparable homes are doing in the area?

Thanks!

Hello! I have a property in western NC that is quite literally in the middle of no where. Over half of the sub work I need there is either no one in that field or expertise or a company that isn’t licensed or insured. 

From a contractor point of view what determines how far out a contractor will travel for work/quote? 
From an investor standpoint, what do you do when the closest reputable company is 1+ hours away?

I am posting this hopefully to generate some discussion from both sides and my biggest issue here is finding someone.  What would you do when you have a house that is so far from anything?
I have $0 in acquisition as it was my childhood home. It is in the heart of the smoky mountains and has huge potential for STR and possibly LTR.

Thank you! 

Hello! My first post! I am doing a remodel on a second home that is paid off. Insurance however, informed me that they are cancelling the insurance because of exterior paint peeling and some damage to the bottom of the walls from water. The water issue is fixed but they informed me during the winter when it’s not ideal to paint. 

Any advice  on what to tell them/ask them or should carriers be switched? 
I do have a painter scheduled but again it barely gets over 50 in the winter months and he strongly advised me to wait. 

Thank you!
