I am currently going to community college as well as in the process of getting my real estate license.

We handle everything—from guest inquiries to maintenance—allowing you to enjoy the freedom and flexibility you deserve, no matter where you live.Some of our main services include: FREE maintenance and regular inspections (yes, you read that correctly—free), professional cleaning management, supply management, smart pricing optimization, 24/7 guest and homeowner support, and more!

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

If you are looking to just calculate profitability, set how much profit you want to make then:ARV - Purchase Costs - Holding Costs - Selling Costs - Desired Profit - Rehab Budget (including contingency) = Maximum Allowable OfferIF you cannot calculate those numbers, a spreadsheet isn't going to help you. 

well as I posted last week Oregon is now going to require wholesalers to be licensed they have carved out a special license for this activity.. those wishing to continue to wholesale will need to do full criminal and get a bond.. some will not qualify as they have bad backgrounds or crappy credit.

FHA loans can be a good option here, allowing you to put down a lower down payment.## NetworkingNetworking is key in real estate investing.

I love that you have specific goals for 2025 - I believe if we think it, write it, say it, and share it our goals are 10x more likely to come to fruition.Are you able to do option 2 and just house hack a 2-4 unit building and use a renovation loan which allows you to put down 3.5-5%I highly suggest getting to some local chicago meetup groups (we have an in person one on the 17th)...here is BPs list: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a full list of the chicago meetups that I can share with you too if that'd be helpful.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

There's so much information here on BiggerPockets as well as the podcast and books and other websites, books and blogs too that are either free or very cheap.
