We have two flip homes and are possibly looking for investors, or to get a loan.

All in all, I'd like to worm my way into the REI space and preemptively thank everyone who has taken the time to read my long introduction and offers their advice.Thank you,JohnTo keyword farm: rehabbing, fix and flip, house flipping, BRRRR, multi-family, apartment, long-term rentals Holla

I am happy to discuss why I actually believe residential real estate is the hardest real estate asset class to manage, but will save you that unless you actually care.  

@Chantelle LewisRecommend 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.

I love that you have specific goals for 2025 - I believe if we think it, write it, say it, and share it our goals are 10x more likely to come to fruition.Are you able to do option 2 and just house hack a 2-4 unit building and use a renovation loan which allows you to put down 3.5-5%I highly suggest getting to some local chicago meetup groups (we have an in person one on the 17th)...here is BPs list: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a full list of the chicago meetups that I can share with you too if that'd be helpful.

Just stating that waiting will also likely make the cost of what you want to buy go up if the last 98 years of real estate data provides the future direction.

I am looking to purchase real estate for both investment purpose as well as to offset as much tax liability as possible. 

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

I live in the Las Vegas market and have investments and a real estate brokerage in Henderson.

for fix and rental projects or for fix and flips?
