I love that you have specific goals for 2025 - I believe if we think it, write it, say it, and share it our goals are 10x more likely to come to fruition.Are you able to do option 2 and just house hack a 2-4 unit building and use a renovation loan which allows you to put down 3.5-5%I highly suggest getting to some local chicago meetup groups (we have an in person one on the 17th)...here is BPs list: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a full list of the chicago meetups that I can share with you too if that'd be helpful.

Would love to see if I can be a great asset for you on your journey.

I spend roughly $120k on my renovations, but this is for the entire property and developing the secondary suite which certainly costs more (2 new furnaces, all new plumbing, new kitchens and bathrooms with tiled floors and showers).All said and done, I personally love it.

Would love to hear more about your interests and strategies you are considering 👍🏽

I would love to hear from current franchise owners, be it HomeVestors, Red Barn, New Again Homes, Flip Cheap Homes, or any other flipping/wholesaling franchises out there.

In the multi unit buildings I put on lease "Each tenant shares responsibility for removing snow and salting on both walkways and sidewalk infront of property" and I have them initial before we execute lease.

If I can help with questions, would love to hear what you’re focused on or planning!

We would love to assist you in navigating these options and securing the right DSCR loan for your Florida investment.

The tenants loved seeing us work hard.  

I believe that mentorship and collaboration are key to success in this industry, and I'm here to learn from all of you and contribute where I can.If you're in the Charlotte area or have insights to share, I’d love to hear from you!
