That is one of my biggest motivations and motor to be able to change my invested money for some freedom. 

Because Chicago is amazing in the sense that it has prices at all levels and tons of old inventory in need of renovation (if you want to renovate).Networking in person was the biggest help for me to get started. 

@Lucas Miller I'm sure he is, but that's giving him a ticket to find his biggest fanboy or fangirl and having me talk with them. :)I'm looking for the unsolicited opinion of someone Lane himself wouldn't call on for their experiences (I'm big on listening and chatting with folks), just to get a sense of what deals they've gotten involved in and how they've gone so far.

Revenue potential for cost and potential STR regulations will be prioritized over a long distance value add.  

Given the Fico on this deal, this is probably the biggest lever you can pull to reduce the total costs.

Do I lose revenue - yes.

@Jose QuinonesOne of the biggest mistakes I made in investing was not thinking of exit strategy.

The biggest thing right now is to stop putting up mental blocks—you can achieve success as a mom of 3, but it’s crucial to push past the mindset of failure.

If you plan on moving and keeping the other property as a rental, it's imperative to ensure that the revenue from the rental far exceeds the debt payments from the new refinance since you don't want to create a negative cash flowing property, aka a property that cost you money each month.

For instance I see "net income" and I don't know if that what the tenant paid or that's what I'm receiving after the property management fee.Net income is revenue minus expenses.
