And you are absolutely right Michaela - he said that the chance of me getting rezoning to multifamily is slim to none.

While there's a chance that sharing this could result in somebody in my local market going head to head with one of my buyers on an escalation, I think the chances of that are slim compared to the benefit of more BP folks being better prepared to get deals.

The chances of this being a deal and going well are slim to none.

If your profit margin is so slim that ONE MONTH on the market puts you in the red, then you really don’t have any profit margin.  

Chicago IS expensive and deal flow is slim.

My experience (which is slim) is that older buildings that don't meet new code standards are often grandfathered in. 

We were at a tax lien auction, bidding was insane so margins would be way too slim for us.

The issue is the market is white-hot and already has investors, so pickings will be slim or over-priced for a casual investor in that market.I would focus on your house first...make sure your living expenses are as low as possible, pay down any debts to increase your personal cash flow, and save save save.

Cash flow seems slim to me for such a big purchase.

The multi market is pretty slim Pickens here so for the most part we're seeing SFR rentals taking most of the investment dollars.
