The content can also make a big difference in whether it’s even worthwhile for a seller, even at what appears to be a higher price.The fact that agency commissions and fees are negotiable has never been a secret.

On a more positive note, if you plan on house hacking it could still be a worthwhile property to purchase.

I would be curious how to get closer to the 1000 a room rent to make it worthwhile for me?

So the "Cash-flow" benchmark can be achieved, but in and of itself its a worthless matrix if not considering what is behind the cash-flow number.All that said, I would agree with @John Warren in that Bolingbrook is worth while looking into.

You'll find that many buildings here are at least 40-50 years old, with the majority probably being ~100 years old, and many have not been renovated for at least 20 years.Unfortunately, with prices where they are at the moment, it's becoming hard to find worthwhile deals.

I have a few people who I think would be interested in partnering up in a deal, and I've found a couple that I think are worth while possibilities.

I thought it was worthwhile. 

In general, I have never been interested in Section 8 but it could be worthwhile.  

I am not looking for someone to share in profit/loss as a capital investor, only for someone to act as a lender.I want terms that would not be available at a bank, and I'm willing to pay a rate high enough to make it worthwhile, I just don't know if it is legal to ask publicly for this type of service.Thanks

Despite the effort, I have found this avenue very worthwhile.
