Whether you’re eyeing a historic greystone in Bucktown or a classic brick two-flat in Irving Park, the Windy City offers endless opportunities to grow your wealth. 

Keep an eye out for stuff like that.If none of that works, you’re probably in it for the long haul until they leave on their own.

I’m just starting out as a bird dog, so I’m always keeping an eye out for distressed properties that could work for BRRRR, whether SFH or multifamily.

My lender is keeping an eye on that. 

@Jack Cottrell you post caught my eye.

Thanks in advanceDown payment: ~90k (25% downpayment)Rent per month: 2300 (5Bed, 4 Bath) with 2100sqftProperty management: ~150 (monthly)Outstanding loan around : ~268k (7.675% APR) 30years fixedLandlord Insurance: 1500$ (per year)HOA: 1600$ (per year)Keeping an eye on interest rates for refinance, so I can then move this property to an LLC instead.

Aside from downpayment, you want to have a solid emergency fund in place, something that can cover unexpected repairs, vacancies, or any other random costs that pop up.I’d also recommend saving more than you think you'll need and keeping a close eye on your expenses.

Also, make sure to keep your eye out for seller financing opportunities. 

I don't know about other areas in TX, but I keep a close eye on Austin-SAN corridor, and I'm familiar with the market in Kyle, New Braunfels and NE San Antonio.

@Jimmy O'Connor that’s actually really surprising that Grays Ferry’s average is about the same, i honestly didn’t dive deep into the numbers and would of never guessed they’d be so close thanks for relaying that info. i actually had my eye on something in Grays Ferry but was a tad worried about an exit plan as i assumed it wouldn’t appreciate as much as Whitman or Pennsport but looks like i was dead wrong as you mentioned Feinbush has moved into Grays Ferry.
