The Illinois tax can also be claimed as an itemized deduction (if you itemize deductions) on your Federal return.

I invest and am an agent/wholesaler out here. 

I am a general business major and also currently working on obtaining my real estate license to become an agent.

I've called agents before to ask why a property sold so much higher than the other comps and literally been told "we just found the right buyer".   

You really have to learn the neighborhoods or work with a sales agent who does.

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

As a real estate agent, I work with a lot of investors and home owners in the south shore excited about this and looking to take advantage of it. 

Hi @Kyle Carter local PM here should you need any connections with contractors, lenders, agents etc.
