Hello, 

Has anyone here (engineer) in Dupage County, IL removed property from FEMA Zone A before? I would like to chat if possible!

What are the benefits of doing lease options? I listed my family home FSBO and keep getting calls asking if I would do a lease to own option -- another few asking if the home is free and clear? Is there a scam out there that I should be aware of?

Congrats! Hope to see the photos of the progress!

Hey!

You are making an awesome choice to be part of the industry. 

First things first, when buying an investment, ALWAYS do a scope of work to see how much the project is going to cost you. Run the comps or find a Real Estate agent to work with. ( I'm an agent and work with investors, so feel free to reach out). If the numbers make sense, then make the move. 

Finding s reliable contractor will be difficult but get refrrrals and make sure to take them on a walk through because they'll see things you don't. 

Look at auction homes and foreclosures. Buying an investment is always about getting it for the right price for the the neighborhood!
