A lot of these folks dont want to share their own distuation out in public, so it may be a bit less "social" imo. but creating content around you buy houses / seller reviews and explainng the process at the very minimum will add a huge credbiliity boost to your website and will warm you a lot of seller leads before you ever speak to them!

@Brett JurgensI'm in agreement with @Stephen Morales.

Next, I'll be pivoting into subsidized housing investment and collecting rent $ from the government as i truly do believe this is a way to boost CoC return percentages in today's market.

Now some other investors may believe they can boost your revenue quite a bit but they don't want to pay for that projected boost. 

Chicago cap rates are lower then interest rates so what I see clients do is rehab to add a ton of equity/boost rents and then either just hold it or do a partial cash out to get back 1/3 or 1/2 the money in the deal which gives you a higher COC.

An experienced team or partner can also help boost confidence.Providing a combination of a solid commitment letter, proof of funds, and a clear, professional approach signals you’re serious and capable of closing the deal.

Moral of the story is check with your lenders to ensure you can hold the property in your LLC.

Maybe even less for reasons I just touched on.I'll spare some of the moral and ethical opinions on this, but I do feel we as real estate professionals, investors, and landlords also have an obligation to help provide housing to everyone. 

Given your limited cash and high DTI, refinancing after boosting rents might balance risk and reward best.

PS:  A lot of the "no debt, ever" people feel a moral sense of superiority to those that carry debt.
