That did not sit well with me at all, I'm putting 100% of my money into the purchase and I thought with rentals you hold onto a property longer than 3 to 5 years. 

If you don't pay he gets the park back and your asset.That would put me at more ease, knowing that you have skin in the game, and are going to pay me.Gino

Maybe cooking rocks is the way to go. no need for rehab, no need for tenants, no need for insurance...high return...HAHAHH@Tyler JahnkeCan't wait to get your report back from the trip.

Please contact me at like to talk to you little bit but I’m a first time multi family investor and would like to get more educated And learn how to move forward in speaking with you.Thank you!!

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

This is more common that you might think.They do not take into consideration the costs borne by the investor associated with the transaction such as: closing costs, carrying costs, finance costs, exit costs, etc.They are trying to hit a homerun on every deal and not leaving enough "meat on the bone" for the next person. 

I am having trouble finding distressed properties with enough "meat on the bones" to make enough money on the deal.  

If investors, you need experience and a strong understanding of how deals should be structured so that you can offer your investors adequate returns to meet their objectives while also having enough meat on the bone to be worth your efforts.

Regarding Chicago, the 2024 property tax re-assessment in Cook County should cause some inventory to hit the market, specifically on the mixed-use and multi-family side of things which will be hit especially hard.
