What's up @Mike Turano, I know there is a great, compact list of meetups at Straight Up Chicago Investor podcast website.

My name is Rick, I hold a fulltime job but in my spare time I look for good real estate deals.

But now, given that you can work for a tech company or manage peoples investments in your spare bedroom there's no need for people to flock there as much anymore IMO.

Or do you have a few minutes to spare some local knowledge over a coffee?

If that is a SFH with 5 rooms and you are renting the spares out while living in the smallest one, awesome!

Who ever is familiar with Fishtown, Philadelphia and have some spare time could you please explain me for educational purposes, what is it in this property, that would make it attractive to investors or flippers . 2306 Sepviva St, 19125It is basically a shell missing plumbing, electric, Windows.

If you can spare a couple of days to get it done you'll have an easier time managing it in the long run.

My first property was a duplex that I lived in half, my second was a house that I lived in and rented out the 2 spare bedrooms.

I just prefer to present a professional business appearance so they know they are dealing with a business and not somebody who works full time and manages his properties in his spare time.  

I have cash for the rehab, and like you, want to spare myself some of the HML costs.
