Paper and notaries go in and out of prisons on the daily.  

From my daily interaction with the market, there is a lot of upside potential.

Depending on your area, renting short-term and long-term can be very profitable as the TDYers have lodging allowances that are based on the average daily rate for a hotel, usually $2800-$4000 per month.

My father is in the real-estate game and with the previous experience I got, I've realized that this is definitely something i enjoy and would like to pursue.For the passed 3 months I have been concentrating on increasing my real estate investing knowledge daily through books (7), many podcasts and articles as well as youtube videos.

I cant count how many things I have to do, nor problems arising daily at the moment, and I over extended myself financially.

Do they not know building costs are going up FAST, the city is adding new expenses daily and home prices are dropping.

Maybe make a point to record the water meter daily at the same time each day.

I'm Andrew Geib, currently I'm working as a lean six sigma engineer based in the Aurora/Naperville area. 1) Favorite real estate book: just picked up Rich Dad Poor Dad for the first time2) Favorite non-real estate book: Freakonomics3) Advice for new investors: seeing as I am a new to real estate, get started now rather than later. 4) Hobbies: cars, I autocross my daily driver whenever I can, I'm resorting a classic mustang, and I frequently go to car shows all across Chicagoland. 

No matter how many times I ask it's gotten to a point where I just go over daily and clean up the yard.

I was wondering how much you guys believe it would effect the rental value/appeal if I was to live in the basement and keep the connecting door locked (or even removed if that won't raise zoning problems) and just use a door to the backyard/side of the house to enter/exit daily.
