I do a combo of short-, mid-, and long term rentals on the northside of Chicago and surround suburbs.

You need to get contractors in and estimates done.

Buildings and terrain around you?

If I were a decent renter shopping in that neighborhood, I would choose that brick building over yours every time. 

I locked up my first deal , now im trying to find buyers. I never put my time into finding buyers unless I had something to offer. How do I find Buyers??

Traditional bank loans can be slow and have strict requirements, while hard money and private lending seem to offer more flexibility.For those who’ve secured funding before, what’s been your experience?

But I understand where I’m at now, and am willing to work for free until I can provide such value.A little about me.

And lowest risk. 

FHA owner occupant buyer is still the highest and best buyer for median and under homes. 

My concern is doing the cash out refi on my other rental and causing a new and much higher payment on it that I can't just pay off like a loan.
