Welcome to BP @Oscar Setiawan !! Congrats on your first couple deals, very exciting.

Maybe make a more specific list of your skills that you could bring to the table and then identify other skills that you would need a partner for. Be as specific as possible. That might at least help a little bit on better identifying what you need from a partner... and what your skills are.

Welcome @Joe K. ! All great ideas, I would definitely recommend doing the live in deal and buying a multiunit. If you do FHA you can put down 3.5% so you don't have to worry about any private investors right off the bat.

If you have a great real estate agent like I do (cough cough @Dorothy Wulf) they usually can negotiate closing credit so you don't have to pay the closing costs. My first multi unit I closed a FHA loan with $5k down and no closing costs.

Let me know if I can help with anything and welcome to the BP community! I definitely recommend checking out the podcasts, they're great.

Anybody an experienced wholesaler in Chicago? Looking to connect, thank you!

You could call Fulton Grace, I've had good experience with them.

Welcome @Clarke Criddell! Will you be in the Chicago market? I am always looking for contractors to add to my list.

My experience with FHA is it's really not that "strict" as everyone said it would be. The process was pretty much the same as closing on a conventional loan. I have a great lender too if you need recommendations.

Welcome to BP @Dario Kerkez ! You'll love the community.

I am also in the Chicago market - let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
