Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

If you want something more passive or hands off then there are turnkey options as well where you can get cash flow but will be buying more at market value.

Use a quitclaim or warranty deed to transfer the title, and be prepared to pay Chicago’s transfer tax, calculated at $7.50 per $1,000 of the property’s fair market value.

Mounting shelves, a TV, or other large items that requires screws, bolts, or anchors should be regulated by the landlord and charged to the tenant. 

Won't be using them again on the next flip that's for sure. are you working directly with them or is this a broker who acts as a correspondent lender?

@Kenneth Joseph Perfido If you’ve moved to a new state and plan to conduct business there, you generally have two options: register your existing LLC as a foreign LLC in the new state or form a new LLC in the new state.

Looking to connect with any investors, realtors, property managers, contractors, wholesalers etc from the area :) Feel free to comment or DM!

I think another trick is, can you get a mortgage or is it an all cash deal?

I would recommend buying a standard SFH with opportunities for an ADU, or a split floor plan where you could rent out the rooms!

Always introduce yourself as ..John or maybe Reagan is better....Maybe like hi I'm Reagan like the President, your friendly neighborhood realtor....that's how they will remember you and you want them to remember you.
