Here are some of the areas that I focus in on:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), Bedford

If you have a good agent at Networth Realty they will get you a fair deal and keep both sides honest.

I would suggest getting another full-time job for the time being and investing/doing STR on the side until you can fully and comfortably replace the income that you would be receiving from your job.Is your LTR in need of repair?

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.

The main differences are that you have more control, better tax advantages, and the power of leverage on your side.🌟 Pro Tip: Next time someone questions your real estate investments, ask them if they'd turn down an opportunity to buy shares in a company that:Pays monthly dividendsLets other people pay off their investmentOffers significant tax advantagesCan be improved to increase returnsCan be bought with 80% financingBecause that's exactly what you're doing with real estate!

With the right mortgage broker by your side, you can navigate challenges confidently and focus on building your portfolio.

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

I assume the PM side (we use the investment management arm).They have to do their due diligence to make sure you are who you say you are.

Great question @Lorraine Hadden,You should always compare both side by side to see the advantages /disadvantages to each.

A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side.
