It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

My previous renters were relocations - either had sold their home and looking to buy another (low inventory so takes a while to find a home to buy) or moving here from another city and didn't know yet what neighborhood they want to be in, or alse building a home and need a place to live until it's completed.

Given that I'm not positioned to buy just yet, and simply running the numbers, is there a rule of thumb for estimating insurance costs that would make sense in Cook County?

He’s only 55, he can enjoy his retirement, golf, etc for a few years and buy back in when he sees a good opportunity.

We're trying to decide whether or not to pay it off or save to buy another property. 

Buying an investment property at 21 shows amazing foresight and financial responsibility.

We mostly buy houses from out of state and are aware of it's challenges but many investors have done successfully, so it can be done.
