There is a newly built Class A 47 unit rental property  Sky View at Crawford ( lease up from 0% to hopefully 100% and value add by garage parking, valet trash etc ) by ​Skyview Capital, a DFW based Commercial Real Estate Development and Acquisition company as General Partners.

@Andrew ThomasSorry you I was shift my focus from purchasing my personal residence to purchasing my first investment property as a realtor you should have access to a program called realist you can easily go in there and search for out-of-state or out of County owners one of the best ways to Market is handwritten envelopes it is almost a guaranteed open versus any other kind of marketing realist has so much information how long people have owned the property with their mortgages Etc I would also try to find as many wholesalers as possible and sign up for their list and look at how they are packaging their properties you will need to go and join some investment clubs a national Club you could potentially join is called Lifestyles Unlimited I'm sure the information they teach is also available on Bigger Pockets at the end of the day if you have a great deal you will always be able to find an investor for it

For this reason I would be more inclined to selling and parking your cash in more attractive rental markets.

I like that area of Chicago around Orland Park too!

Quote from @Ko Kashiwagi: Hi Anna,Are you investing as a foreign national (with visa, Green card or ssn)?

We turned the 2 bedroom, 2,000 sq/ft home, to a 5-office, property with a kitchen, two bathrooms, a parking lot and a backyard.

We are across the nation, some cities have higher number of bookings via VRBO but more often than not, its Airbnb that has the highest bookings still. 

The property's location is ideal for short term rental (Orlando area theme parks and convention centers.)How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Orlando is very competitive, therefore you have to provide an extremely clean, themed out home with close proximity to the parks in a community that also offers great resort amenities. 

But once we went through the process of this revision to approved action, it triggered HCD to get involved since it’s in their jurisdiction since it’s a “special occupancy park”.
