Neighborhoods like Logan Square or Albany Park have seen growth in rental demand, making them potentially good starting points.

Networking with other investors and learning from your early experiences will help you grow confidently.Good luck!

I’m a licensed agent in Indiana and Georgia but open to advice and insights from anyone, anywhere.Looking forward to learning, connecting, and growing with this community.

I have amassed a decent network of vendors, so definitely looking at fixer uppers.Eventually, I hope to grow my portfolio to acquire commercial loans for multifamily deals, I haven't started purchasing investment properties, only have my private residence.

Doing so also helps create some level of USP to a sea of growing inventory across platforms like Airbnb.With their introduction to paid advertising it’s going to be interesting to see how their algorithms change from a ratings perspective. 

., on SF investing and buy and hold, and fix and flip, I believe MF is one of the areas I want to work and grow and develop.

If the area is not growing, then appreciation will be flat.

Would you demand they pay for the fix?  

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

Be sure that you're applying whatever late fee your lease allows to every late payment and demanding same from the tenant.
