A lot of the success stories and content we’ve seen in the past came from a very different rate environment, so I’m definitely factoring that into my approach.For now, I’m planning to focus on the Jackson County/MO area, specifically around Lee’s Summit where I have some local support from family.

The forum can probably give a pretty good assessment (and it will definitely be hones) of your current portfolio.

I will definitely DM you on the side, looking for as much advice I can get, and happy to help anyway I can in return!

In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

Very cool to see, and I definitely agree with many of these.

That additional review layer definitely can add value in oversight and deal selection.

It’s not easy to find but deals are definitely out there.Pick a couple markets you like and really hone in on them so when the right deal comes along, you’ll be ready to strike.

It is probably worth your time to connect with BOTH @John Warren and myself since we are both managing brokers, but John is more focused on property management and I am more focused on general contracting, but we are both Chicago investors as well.Oak Park and Lawndale are definitely two different markets.

Quote from @Andrew Freed: @Ryan Brown - I would definitely recommend giving their section 8 a call and advising of the issue.

I definitely agree that it's so easy to fall in the trap of paralysis analysis and reading books and listening to podcasts.
