Thanks for setting up a suburbanite-friendly meetup Brianna Schmidt ! I look fwd to seeing everybody. And congrats on quitting your job to invest full-time! I hope you start a blog as you mentioned on the other post as I'd love to read it. You're such an inspiration!

Wow... thank you everybody for the quick and detailed replies! You've quelled my fears and armed me with knowledge.

Thanks: @Bryan L. , @Kathleen Leary , @Bill Gulley , @Jeff Rabinowitz , @Rose M.

Should I try to avoid private septic and private well on a fix n flip? It scares me a little but I'm not exactly sure why. Should it? Any suggestions on due diligence?

Schaumburg

Hey everybody! We're in the process of planning a Chicago suburbs meetup/networking event and we're trying to get an idea of how many are interested. We are also considering piggybacking on another Chicago REI club... perhaps CAREIA. Please let us know if you'd prefer a unique/separate BP meetup or prefer meeting at the monthly CAREIA general meeting. FYI, CAREIA also has other monthly events and workshops.

Welcome Michelle A. ! In addition to Brianna S. meetup in the city, Carolina E and I are going to put one on in the suburbs too... maybe Schaumburg. Maybe we'll try to alternate months. (Sorry if this post looks funny, my phone's playing tricks on me.)

Thanks everybody for the details. Hopefully, I'll be able to post my info if and when this property we're considering works out.

@Jeff N. - I'd love to hear exactly which items and how you challenged them regarding your closing costs savings.

@Barshay Graves I'm guessing that doesn't answer your question.

@John Moore Any chance you can be more specific?

I realize there are lots of variables to this but I think he was looking for an estimate in the form of actual #'s... because I have the same question. Can anyone offer #'s or at least a percentage range? My example/question is: If it's bought for $80k (all cash), rehabbed, and sold for $150k (buyer uses a mortgage), what would a safe estimate be?

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up @Zach Shepard . Just in time!

@Zach ShepardIs anybody else planning on attending? Give me a call/text if you are... 847-848-1291. It would be nice to meet more BP'ers in person.
