Lots of "deals" are popping up on multiple websites but you need to very careful of the info posted.

Tom, have you considered taking the time from now until then to really fix it up and make it pop and than relist in mid to late February?

I think that just looking at that in general will open your eyes to what the reality of your purchasing position is.2) Within the areas where those properties pop up, determine what units/locations will attract tenants that you would like to rent to.

It certainly doesn't "pop" but has served me well and I was super appreciative that others before me had generated discussion about what colors are used in their projects. 

When things went "pop" south of the 49th and we watched them slide off the tracks, there was an about face in Ottawa (a slow one, but it did finally happen) and regulators for residential real estate financing started to reverse course.It is still easier to borrow to buy real estate than it was in the 80s and the unprecedented run of low - almost no - interest rates has helped fuel the continued rise of several real estate markets in the country which should have gone "pop" themselves some years ago.

NMLS and CFL or CABRE license numbers are all open to the public.you can simply put my name into the STate of CA CA BRE and my license will pop up same with Oregon.My NMLS is in active in Oregon as I am not using it but I believe I still pop up on NMLS you can go on line put in NMLS then license look up.  

I can find nothing on the property on google, which is strange considering almost all address pop up in Redfin or some other listing site.It's really strange, considering there are 2 normal properties between the two that are listed with exempt status.Another question I have is when the parcel status says deleted.

Rochelle is the geographic middle between our two jobs.Not as much opportunity in Rochelle (pop 10,000) but I'm:15 mins from Dekalb 25 mins from Rockford Adjacent45 mins from Naperville/Aurora45 mins from LaSalle/Peru (Cassie's work location)1 hour from Janesville/Beloit (My work location)We're open to cast a wider net if the opportunity arises.Currently we're saving approximately $5,000 every two months for down payments and listening to the BP podcasts on our commutes.

It doesn't quite meet the 50% rule but I'm paying it off in 15 years instead of 30 and I could always re-fi or get a HELOC to get some of my cash out if a major expense like a roof or something popped up. 

The occasional multi family pops up at much lower price points.
