I've been speculating the markets in the Midwest for some time now and recently decided to make a post on BP to attain more insights from people who live & invest in these markets.

She is a real estate agent but rents so no property to place a lien on.Sorry to hear this but its good that you share this as people only see $ signs when the think seller financing.

I try my best to help as many people as possible.
