You can also partner up as well/have multiple people on the loan for down payment purposes!

I will definitely be taking advantage of trying to network with some Chicago people here.As for looking for a good tenant. 

Most people do one of two things:1.

Landlords would be free to take chances on irresponsible people with bad histories. 

For people that want to close and make it pretty/official/permitted/etc once they are owners, the question is "what is the cheapest way we can get this to pass an appraisal without the appraiser calling for a licensed/bonded/professional/whatever to fix things prior to closing?"

Home runs are far and few between.Oh I wish more people were honest about their deals.

Other companies people use are SNSC, FCI, Landhome, Homekey and others.That would be your best bet.

This is a dealbreaker for some people.

People newer than you can get a lot of insight from that.

Zillow also hs a "Make Me Move" feature you can click on to see home owners listing their property in hopes of a good offer.I have also seen peopl reach out tp local AFL Assisted living facilities to talk to the Admin or on boarding nurse to see if ay families or people need to sell their home to cover costs.
