I live in Chicago, and being a city guy I am interested in starting out by investing in smaller multi family dwellings (2, 3, 4 flats) doing minor rehab/repair work, maximizing rent potential, minimizing maintenance costs by managing the buildings and tenants myself, and holding on to them for a while and see what I can make of it.

The repairs are around $45k to put on a new flat roof.

The house is a multi family building (two flat) located in Chicago - northwest of the city.

I currently have a flat fee MLS listing (1065 Tollview).

No matter the business, you have to have a certain fire in the belly that keeps you going.

He owned 5 rental properties and she flat out said she just wanted to pay off the loan balance, which was $200k.

I talked to a local RE attorney that is an investor, and he flat out told me he leans solely on his umbrella policy for protection.

Why on earth would you even consider pre-constructions in a SLOWING/FLAT/DECLINING market?

Who ever says this is an easy money business is flat out lying.

It has small prongs protruding from a short flat section in the middle, which you place against the side of the window frame, the two curved "wings" will be facing the movable window, and when you compress the wings in order to let the window down, the tension will hold the window in any position.
