I know I won’t actually be getting that right away because it should be going to savings for emergency funds for the property.

Whether you've lent money for an individual project, or you've invested in some sort of fund / group, I'd like to hear about your experience! 

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to help me build a credit profile/score for my company which will be independent of my personal credit. 

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

In high-cost markets like Chicago, that can be tough to meet.If you're looking at a duplex, the self-sufficiency test doesn’t apply, so you’d just need to qualify based on your personal income and the rental income your lender allows.If your current lender isn’t familiar with making FHA work in your situation, it might be worth getting a second opinion from someone experienced with FHA multi-unit financing.

Highly suggest coming out to some of the local chicago IN-PERSON meetups! 

I appreciate any feedback.Regarding Insurance, personally I would never have someone else (A Lawyer) handle the insurance on a Sub 2 deal or any other real estate deal for me, you would be setting yourself up for failure.First of all now you would need to get a POA for the attorney from the seller, that may not be your best move.

My 4 personal STR's are all in San Antonio did over $575k in 2024 and on track for $650k in 2025.I think you are generally looking in the right areas, but there are a few things to keep in mind:1) Stay inside of 1604. 

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Any recommendations on Houston REI groups that meet in person or virtually?
