Hey @Lue YangOne thing I did not see mentioned is AVOID FHA!  

I would wait to start that new venture you mentioned and see how that goes because last thing you want to do is get yourself in a situation where you lose everything.

Let’s mention some of the top U.S. states where seasonality is less impactful and real estate investment opportunities remain steady.Florida: The Sunshine State with Year-Round DemandFlorida has long been a hotspot for real estate, and not just because of its beaches and warm climate.

As mentioned someone would give you $500-$600k max but not a $100k discount.

The group Giovanny mentioned is still active, but I don't know that there is a meet up scheduled.

Not to mention the amazing fall foliage!

I have a property management group in Hawaii that offers both STR and MTR services, but we don't mix for the reason that he mentioned - a single STR booking on an island can totally kill any ability to run MTR.

Hey @Jeff Ryan - While I can not speak to your exact situation, I can speak to the thousands of homes I have walked here in Chicago, where majority of the homes were built in the late 1800s/early 1900s.I would say that 7/10 of the older homes I look at have some sort of settlement in the foundation, which causes the cracks and sloped floors you are mentioned you are seeing in your property. 

Surround yourself with professionals we’ve mentioned, like title company representatives, and ensure they consistently deliver results.

They don’t mention about being licensed.
