New investors in Illinois

[Asante Allen]

My husband and I are new real estate investors looking to BRRRR in Elgin, Illinois. We have not made a deal yet but we are analyzing and going to look at some properties next week.

For those of you who Rehab, BRRRR, wholesale:

What advice would you have given to yourself before your first deal, knowing what you do now?

Any advice is appreciated. Questions we may not have thought of that we need to ask?

Thank you in advance! We love this community and look forward to connecting.
