Real estate doesn't have to be scary! We want to remove the fear of investing and leave you with the tools and knowledge to leverage your assets and scale up. Sarita has helped numerous house hackers and investors purchase investment properties in Illinois. The one thing that will inevitably come up with every buyer is nerves. There is a lot of uncertainty in investing. The endless hypotheticals will give you analysis paralysis. Unless, you know how to navigate the market, properties, and the transaction. By attending our meetup, you will learn how to make more educated decisions and let go of your nerves.

Hi Justin, 

Congrats on getting this done. Did you have to put down 5% on your FHA loan to pass self sufficiency test? Was that also why the lender was the greatest challenge?

Hi Kyle, I'm sorry you're having issues procuring a tenant. It's such a strong seller's market in every inventory range it might be a great time sell....says the realtor! 
We have worked with many clients over the years that found themselves in the same predicament. Keeping both listings up is definitely an option and one we see a lot of owners take. It is not always a sellers market and renting is sometimes the best path. I've also talked many "sellers" into waiting to list until the market time aligns with when buyers are looking. This happens often in Fall and Winter. What the home offers tenants and prospective buyers will be critical in answering which path and timeline makes the most sense for you and your strategy.  I've just sent you a DM if you'd like to chat more!

Hi Mario- Is this a non-conforming unit or illegal unit? These words have different meanings and you're using them in your question as if they mean the same thing. Many people use these words interchangeable. Even though they do not have the same definition. Has the city issued the owner a citation that the unit needs to be decommissioned? That would make the unit illegal and they cannot rent it out. Does it have building code violations on it?

Join us for a Real Estate Investor networking event! At our November meetup, we'll be joined by Ezekial McDonald-Lewis, Associate Attorney at Erwin Law.

Bring your questions, and Zeke will help give a rundown of basic issues multi-unit owners face. Whether you are just getting started or have many doors under your belt, this event is a must attend!
