Thanks everyone for the positive response. I hope to contribute as much as I can. 

@Paul Timmins Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that book.

Hi Bigger Pockets community!! 

My name is Jeff. I am from the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago or the Chicagoland area. I have been RE investing for 15 years and I have over 5 rental portfolios consisting of multiple SFR, MF, and commercial throughout the Midwest region. I also do fix/flips.

A friend of mine told me to get on to this site to see if I could pass on some of my knowledge. I do enjoy helping people if they choose to want help. I do not know everything but I know enough to be dangerous. I am not here to sell anything nor provide any services. I am just here to connect with other investors and possible learn some things. I always say you can learn something new everyday even if  it's the littlest thing.

@Allende Hernandez

This agent who is telling that there is $200K comps in this area is FULL of it! There is nothing selling for $200K around south Belmont, SFR or MF. The area is not in redevelopment or anything else.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEAL!!!!!!!! Take other peoples advice on this thread. 

NEVER deal with an agent that is also selling the property. ALWAYS go find your own agent. One who actually has your best interest, not one that is concerned about making a commission.
