I purchase my personal investments to maximize their equity and hold long term.

Of course most GPs have personally put in money to keep the deals from sinking.

It also gives you multiple work surfaces so you can have more than one person in the kitchen without getting in each others' way.

@Matt Solis would be the perfect person to speak to about this!

We purchased it off market, as-is, and as it was our personal home, we renovated over time.

I personally wouldn't buy an old home as a rental, I only buy 1980 or newer for myself, all of my properties are in the north part of Gilbert built between 1985-2003.

Highly suggest coming out to some of the local chicago IN-PERSON meetups! 

That could work if you find the right person.

On more than one occasion I’ve talked with a person or two that was offering real estate coaching and I found out very quickly that either it was not what they were advertising or they was not far enough along to be coaching anyone except maybe a complete newbie or maybe it wasn’t the strategy for me.Anyway, that’s my ramble for this morning.

I only spoke with one person so far and they scheduled for more information gathering/ rental investment calls from them this upcoming week.
