It's all a part of the game. 

Ramsey, your game plan seems like a great idea.

These will be LTRs and I will most definitely be playing the long game with these.In addition, as rates go down in the future (hopefully) I plan to refinance as most of us do.

This isn't analyzing deals, this is just playing a video game.

Plot 1: 2024 market value of $6,900. 45x120Plot 2: 2024 market value of $3,800. 100x94I'm still pretty new to the game, so I have no experience with land deals, ground up construction, zoning, things of that nature, and am wondering what the best play is.Sell one to help with acquisition costs and build an ADU on the other?

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.

My girlfiend and I are looking in La Grange and Brookfield which is not quite as fast west as you, but my aunt lives in Wheaton so I am quite familiar with your area.What's your game plan over the next two years? 

Since you are splicing multiple pictures, why not show a good one of the game room and other other key parts of the house instead of all of the game room?

The deposit amount when working with a lender comes from the lender - it is basically the amount of skin the lender wants you to have in the game. 

I would get back to local real estate investor meetups so you can connect with locals to the area and kind of get back in the game slowly that way.
