Who would like to schedule a meet and greet? 

Congrats on your lot purchase in an awesome Chicago neighborhood like Humboldt Park.

Sounds like maybe equity skimming?

Unless you're an idiot, and if you know you're one then stick to something really vanilla like VOO, SCHBB, QQQ, IYY and some T-Bills.

Price Labs like anything else uses an algorithm to decide on the best price.

It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors. where is your property located? 

It sounds like you are trying to buy a second property with less of a downpayment than 20 percent.

One who is active still and recently did a case study write up like this is Don Konipol, the other pops on every now and again and did a BP episode many years ago Aaron Mazzrillo so search those two names and read some threads.A more likely scenario is not what you mentioned as the ever growing note/value deal, at least not as outlined.

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

The hilly terrain is a main reason for this and you can't really see that on a map so knowing the areas is key.We have old housing stock as well so big things like plumbing and electrical can vary cost wise if they have or haven't been updated.
