In addition to running the "Illinois Real Estate Investors Association", I manage a mobile home park in Belleville, IL.

In addition to that they are having to pick up and deliver the materials. 

This will be a great addition to your toolbox, especially with your experience.

In addition, somebody else is paying off your mortgage and the property can be a good tax write-off (consult with a professional).

A high school friend of mine has a duplex little outside of Sacramento area but isn't really cash flowing and ate up a lot of his capital to invest in additional properties. 

I started a GC company because it brings in additional revenue.Another important point, are you looking for a mentor or mastermind to join?

In addition, exerting time and effort on properties that are not for sale is not worth it to me. 

In addition I also offered cash and a quick closing timeframe.

We are looking at investment properties in Brooklyn, and found one we liked and want to add an additional floor (two stories as of now, would go to three), but the zoning is M1-2, which is commercial.  90% of surrounding properties are multifamily residential as well.

There will be additional court filings in the coming weeks.
