Id love to connect and get you more info on the meetups!

Hi @Abigail King - Love that you are coming up to Chicago for some meetups. 

Loving the journey so far and happy to share ideas!

Specifically, I’d love to hear about best practices for managing shared spaces, screening tenants, and setting up house rules.Additionally, I plan to split the utilities among the tenants—any advice on how to handle this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

This doesn’t include any raises or bonuses.No kids yet, but we plan to have them down the line.Both of our credit scores are over 800, and we have no debt.The plan:I know sellers don’t always love FHA loans, and they can be tough to get approved for, but I’d like to use one to make this work.

If you responded to my previous post, I didn’t get to see your comment, but I’d love to continue the conversation here! 

Would love to hear if you ended up giving them a shot. 

But ultimately the responsibility lies in my hands.I jumped on a seesaw of risk hoping that the momentum would catapult my bank account into six figures only to find out the hard way that flipping houses isn’t as easy as I had predicted.This house was purchased for $64,000 with an expected rehab of $100k to $120k depending on how much work the dilapidated and neglected house needed.The midwest is lovely but the houses carry the weight of weather storms nearly a century old leading to more damage than a beginning investor could expect.The appraisal came in at $225k for my lender meaning our all-in cost would be around 85% of the sales price worst case.

I'd love to talk and get you an offer on it!

I'd love to help you.
