Glad to have you as a part of this awesome community, Chandler! 

Quote from @Josh Otero: Hi BP community, I know you've got some crazy tenant stories and I want to hear it.I'll go first:1) I was managing a 5 story apartment building and a dog fell off the 4th floor balcony because of the owner not paying attention.

Chicago has a fantastic real estate community, and there are plenty of networking opportunities.

Even if cashflow isn't your focus, I would caution against a truly cashflow negative local property, where you're also not factoring in the cost of maintenance. 

I'd also worry about the showings and if someone steals something from the tenants (or the tenants claim something is missing).Focus on getting the most you can for the property.

I plan to use a HELOC but would be interested in the thoughts of others in BPs on this approach or recommendations if there are other ways to financing that I should consider.
