Hey @Mordechai Chaimovitz - It sounds like you are talking about Chicago's NW side because there are definitely tons of areas in Chicago where a 2 flat can cashflow well.I know for me buying on the nw side was critical to my personal well-being and life happiness. 

Hello. I just put my house for rent but I’m not sure where to do background check and what exactly look for when doing them. Can you please share what you use it would be great. Thank you. 

If I understand correctly; the seller would receive 80% ($40,000) directly from the mortgagee at closing and would enter into a personal agreement with me for the 20% down payment ($10,000) in which he would be reimbursed separately from my mortgage payments at a separately agreed upon rate and term?

Hi Zachary, I personally recommend checking the Columbus OH market.

Life it too short to teach people that won't follow through...or to spend money learning stuff that you won't apply.

These regions offer affordable prices for most investors, with homes that are turnkey—either newly constructed or fully renovated, tenant-ready, and with systems that still have 10+ years of life remaining.

I work full time at a decent job, but have quickly learned that I needed to make some changes in my families life by securing our financial future. 

The Shoals is a great place to settle down and take life slow.

Whereas, you could be on the AG's hook for screwing John Doe the homeowner out of his sole possession in his life. 

Other CPAs and firms have quoted me 5k-10k+ but are no where near as responsive and personable as my current CPA and accountant.
