If you and another person own a piece of real estate as tenants in common then you both own real estate. 

Looking forward to meeting you all virtually sometime, or in person on a visit to PT. 

Personally (as a STR-focused REALTOR), I would never give you numbers and tell you you can hit them. 

However, I think for the average person this is probably not true. 

No problem, I had cash from a refi, a HELOC, and a personal LOC.

You'll never get the confidence to invest from another person or guru.

Do you have a personal connection to either of those cities/markets?

Hey @Mordechai Chaimovitz - It sounds like you are talking about Chicago's NW side because there are definitely tons of areas in Chicago where a 2 flat can cashflow well.I know for me buying on the nw side was critical to my personal well-being and life happiness. 

Jorge told us don't expect anything for awhile possibly a couple years...I have myself personally have $50,000 invested with them and I doubt I will ever see it again.

Maybe the section 8 person can help advise you, but I'm certain they will give a disclaimer with anything they say that you still need to consult your own lawyer or read the rules.
