Having experienced real estate investors around you while growing up sounds like its been quite impactful. 

I think i’m experiencing some anaylysis paralysis (the feeling of being unable to start something due to overthinking and/or over researching the situation.)

Legal Advice: Consulting with an attorney experienced in real estate law is highly recommended before entering into a land contract.

Below are a few things I look for in a vacation rental cleaner:1) Hot Tub Maintenance: Since many of my properties include hot tubs, it's essential that my cleaners are experienced in testing water quality and adding the appropriate chemicals as needed. 2) Clear Communication: Real-time communication is crucial for me.

After looking at well over 150 properties myself (pre-foreclosure, probate, wholesalers, etc) and talking to dozens and dozens of investors who are very experienced in the Chicago market as well as a couple of brokers that specialize in investment properties and move 1,200+ REO properties per year, I've been told by every single one of them that deals with this criteria are almost non-existent in this market.In speaking with one of KFN's own people I was told they only know of one deal that's been done in Chicago that meets their criteria.This is smelling very, very much "scammy".When asking one of their people about getting a refund because we've found no properties that meet their criteria and have gained no value whatsoever from their program, we were initially told that there's a 3 day right to rescind and after that all sales are final.I've sent email to their CEO and have yet to receive a response.I'd like to believe that companies still do business with integrity and do the right thing and give a refund when a customer is dissatisfied with their product/service.

You're better off going to a local meetup and rubbing shoulders with some experienced investors in your area.

I am fascinated by this - can't wait to see what others think or have experienced.
