Quote from @Rene Hosman: @Austin Wolff recently went through this process of identifying markets to purchase in and he goes over his thought process in this episode on the Rookie podcast about how he used the MarketFinder here on BiggerPockets to find markets that met his criteria Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-473MarketFinder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/marketsI specifically only focused on 2 markets (Indianapolis and Fayetteville, AR) before I found a deal using the BP "deal finder."

I know that something has to change and I want to explore purchasing real estate.

You could sell the AITD to a note buyer who will pay off the underlying at closing - BUT the buyer will need to purchase the wrap for at least the amount of the underlying.

What kind of investments are you planning on purchasing, and what area? 

I am not sure, but I imagine that you could also help out and lend your credit to this type of purchase. 

I am from the Chicago area and looking to purchase my first property in the next 3-6 months. 

I met with Wicked Smart today and was told they help you set up a lead sourcing system, help you structure creative financing - which is essentially lease option/purchase, subject to and owner financing....all strategies I am interested in learning more about.

I like strong MSA's, high rents, & low purchase prices, to maximize cashflow & cash ROI. 

We have purchased 8 investment properties over the last 2 years, we strictly rent them out with section 8. 

I would be thinking about future loans as I plan to do purchase another property soon after.
