Brought by an agent who I have done several cross deals with....NETWORKING!!!

The owner gets cash, the investor signs a sales contract with the owner, and then proceeds to redeem the property and takes possession through a regular sales transaction.  

I know you're looking to buy in the suburbs but I created a Chicago House Hacking Guide and the principles are overall the same.You won't find $100k SFHs in most suburbs around Chicago except the south suburbs close to the Indiana border.

@Nick SansiveroRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Hey all, this post is for anyone with some open weekdays who is also looking for better/updated photography for their short term rental (also some bonus tips on partner cross-marketing).Partner with influencers (find them on FB and Instagram or I can help you find a few) by offering them a stay during the quieter mid-week time in exchange for professional content and posts from them.

I'm the youngest in the group (by 20+ years) and my inexperience in real estate transactions is combated by my ambition and ability to work with numbers (this is where my job as a credit analyst comes into play).

Agents can be important, but there are too many out there focused in the transaction.
