Many a local Cleveland investor has been left with a bad taste in their mouth after dealing with this guy.  

I have been burned badly on my very first investment deal for a sum of around 50k and really have an awful taste in my mouth about RE investments.

I am offering 1.5m (as it needs about $200k in updates for our tastes).

I hope that people who are following the thread get a good taste of operators from both sides. 

Hi Ropo,@Brie Schmidt is your "go to" for anything Chicago related.I've owned a condo there since 2017 and it's left a sour taste in my mouth as it hasn't moved in value at all.My fault tho as it was a "trophy property" of sorts so only have myself to blame.I've warmed up to the idea of house hacking over the years but still think that "money makes money" if you want to be active.$100,000 can go a long way in many markets when it comes to property flipping.But then again, not everyone wants to be active so I get it.Something to also consider is how landlord friendly the state is.I've heard some horror stories with Illinois but potato "potato" lol.My tenant for example is high net and I get direct withdrawal payment on the 28th of every month and hasn't skipped a beat in 4 years.Wishing you much success 

Like she also mentions in her book, that already leaves a bad taste in the renters mouth.

@Bob Asad too big of a spread for my taste.

Plus, it's obvious my wife has better taste than me... she often reminds me in case I forget

The mafia is too soft for my taste in these matters! 

It's in a well sought after neighborhood with good schools that I remodeled to appeal to modern tastes.
