If anyone needs help from stuffing envelopes to showing/finding properties or cleaning houses, I'm willing to chip in where need be if anyone could use an extra hand (no pun intended).

Higher interest rate means less buyers with commited funding, so less competition and more bargaining chip with seller if your one of the only few that can close on properties.

I use Southern Oak for one of my units in Decatur. 

@Chip ChronisterRemember - purchase $ notes and promissory notes alike don’t always have to be from a sale to consumers.There are many old guys out there who have amassed a good sum of real estate and would much rather have good paper income now.It’s a good opportunity for younger, hustling investors to purchase.

My goal is make profit without having lenders chipping into my money.

@Rick C.Thank you for chipping in. 

We’ve had tenants point out a couple minor chips in the kitchen tile floor months after moving in.

And we had to catch all the paint chips with tarps and make sure we didn’t leave any chips on the ground anywhere.

I have lived in the city for 8 years now and I know it's a good area with a lot of wealthy families (Oak Park, IL).
