I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.

That said, when there are profits for both sides of the equation (borrowers & lenders), private investors/hard money lenders are more inclined to favor the project.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

For what you are trying to achieve you'll want to stick to the suburbs and a few choice neighborhoods on the West Side of the city.

I'll rehab and brrrr if it makes sense but I'll either stabilize my real estate company a bit or move on something if a killer deal crosses my desk. always looking for small multi's on clevelands east side. 

I love being on the other side charging everything possible on a credit card but there’s no reason to accept them.

Theres someone living in the side that I will be occupying until the 1st of February, but since I JUST became the owner, would it make sense to reach out and ask them something like "Hey its __ the new owner, just checking in to see how you're doing.

I just DM’ed you but I’ve househacked a handful of properties on the northwest side of Chicago.

If you're ever interested in seeing what's going happening on the western side of the state feel free to reach out anytime. 

One of the side benefits is that I can avoid the whole draw/inspection process (not overall inspection, just the ones tied to the draws) and don't have to worry about draw fees.
