Chicago has great suburbs to invest in.

I don't see it on the Oregon Real Estate site: https://www.oregon.gov/rea/licensing/Pages/licensing.aspx 

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.

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.  

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

(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.
