There are several great tenants on Section 8 but the overall ideology is never reflective of them.

Chicago has great suburbs to invest in.

@Jennifer Gill, unfortunately, the DNC law looks great on paper.

It sounds like you are off to a great start for 2025 and have a good plan.Finding good deals is often the most difficult part of the process. 

I can also share some great resources and guides to get you started.Let me know what specifically you're looking to learn, and we can set up a time to talk.

The lot size, the pool, and the quiet cul-de-sac location provided great bones, and with the right upgrades and modern touches, it could command a much higher price in the competitive Hamptons market.

Look, lot's of great to be said of TN but end of day the numbers are the numbers.

So now we cover utilities for both units and the new tenant pays a higher amount too on the back unit to cover all the utilities with a great profit.  

(Auctions and foreclosures can also provide great leads.)With $20K, hard money loans are a practical option, as they emphasize a property’s ARV over your financial history.

I would greatly appreciate feedback.
