I'm happy with the pace for which I've been able to accumulate properties at this time.There's a large demand for SFR rentals as many people just get sick and tired of neighbors surrounding them side-to-side top-to-bottom.  

After doing my research on sponsoring brokers, I went with ARNI Realtors in Des Plaines.

You should put up plain white bandit signs that say e Buy Houses, Quick Cash Offers with your number.

I work the night shift/baby is sick/wife's in the mood.
