I'm closing on a duplex via creative financing in the next few weeks.

Looking to hear from investors, business owners, and anyone who’s navigated this process successfully!

Hello - Can someone recommend a good real estate attorney, specifically one that specializes or has experience in evictions in the Cook County IL area, it would be much appreciated.

I am specifically looking in Essex county, MA because I want to house back close enough to my current W-2 job.

There's nothing wrong with considering them along with other options, but I would be careful thinking they will get you more bang for your buck or a more honest operator.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

I also agree go the DSCR route and get a few quotes from people as you may find then to vary significantly - had one last week we were 1/2 percent lower than what they were getting quoted 

But I am familiar with some of the tough regs in CA.

More business than investment.

You will likely find that some banks are much more favorable to lending to primary homeowners, while some may lean towards investors.
