Hey Tim, Your intro is inspiring.. how do you intend to stand out when negotiating with sellers?

I love that you have specific goals for 2025 - I believe if we think it, write it, say it, and share it our goals are 10x more likely to come to fruition.Are you able to do option 2 and just house hack a 2-4 unit building and use a renovation loan which allows you to put down 3.5-5%I highly suggest getting to some local chicago meetup groups (we have an in person one on the 17th)...here is BPs list: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a full list of the chicago meetups that I can share with you too if that'd be helpful.

After the new home is built, I plan to sell our primary house.

buy house  find renter rent house maintain house pray they pay rent and dont destroy it.

I've considered areas close to the Falls, but sellers seem to price it a lot higher assuming the buyer can make it up renting it short term. 

Title spoke with seller and seller happily signed the release.

@Jason Lopez You don’t need an LLC to rent out a house in San Antonio, TX, but it can provide liability protection by separating your personal assets from your rental property.

I have 3 houses that Premier has managed over almost  9 years, and they do a great job keeping them rented to very long term tenants.

I'm a house hacker too, message me if you want to connect
