Good Afternoon All, Hopefully you all had a chance to see my Introduction, but for those of you who didn't, my name is Adrienne Curtis. I'm a 21-year-old College Student in Chicago. I'm seeking some guidance because I'm sort of looking to invest in a live in flip. Chicago is a thriving market and I was fortunate enough to fall upon some properties located in the growing Bronzeville and Hyde Park markets. The places I've found are Condos/Townhomes going for between 70k-85k. Seeing that I'm 21 and still in college, would it be best for me to take out an FHA 203k loan or wait until I pay cash for my first property?
