Overall, it's a good system.

Quote from @Jacob Dalton: I purchased a single family home good quality location in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs in Cook County as a personal residence.

Looks like you have some good options in front of you @Martin Phinney.

I know that I will need a good realtor on my team that understands not just the market but the real estate investment industry itself.

A good designer and architect are key for a successful project like this and keep in mind these aren't cheap.There's a lot more details to consider, feel free to DM me for more details.

Laguna is a great area I have some good friends down there if you need some references. 

Quote from @Miguel Vasquez: Good afternoon I have a question in regards to my section 8 tenant.

The school is very good, but middle is not so much.I have some cash to invest, but can't decide what route to take.

But we were able to resolve conflict pretty well and still remain really good friends today.I would say if you're going to find a partner, you really want to find somebody that you get along really well and who also knows how to work hard and resolve conflict well.

The good thing about this is you can do a parent listing offering the whole place, as well as 2 other listings for each unit.
