Set clear aims, like making money long-term with rental properties or short-term profits through fix-and-flip projects.

Curious if anyone has any recommendations on best places to buy and how much i should aim to save. 

My aim is to preserve cash and minimize the down payment as much as possible. 

This will always result in conflict and uncertainty, because were measuring apples too hand-grenades. 

What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you track to measure their progress?

It’s an excellent spot for flipping properties aimed at middle-income buyers.Each of these zip codes offers different advantages depending on what you’re looking for in terms of community, property type, and investment scale.

This is where purchases aimed at appreciation without good cash flow could keep you from qualifying for future loans.

Not sure if higher purchase prices/rates have created this boom or if it's that all the new supply of rentals in Chicago is aimed at top end luxury *$3000 1br type builds etc. but rents have shot up on the north side.
