It's a longer term hold play, so not much income to speak of this soon.

They often allude to me speaking with others as if it is expected. #2: If a broker brings me a deal off-market, am I going to link up with a different broker to ask as my buyers agent?

Hey @Jeff Ryan - While I can not speak to your exact situation, I can speak to the thousands of homes I have walked here in Chicago, where majority of the homes were built in the late 1800s/early 1900s.I would say that 7/10 of the older homes I look at have some sort of settlement in the foundation, which causes the cracks and sloped floors you are mentioned you are seeing in your property. 

Since their project is running longer than anticipated they can't speak to the ROI yet and whether they're going to make the return that was projected / advertised.

Mainly, prospecting - aka speaking with potential buyers and sellers.I would also recommend calling everyone you know (Neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, etc.) to let them know you're in RE... don't say its a side-hustle... don't say you're 'trying it out'... don't say its only a P-T thing...

So I can't speak to how their Latchel network of contractors work.

I either need to speak to a landlord or get a co-signer.

But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

I have some great lenders here that you could speak with about all of that.
