Would love to collaborate as I make my trip out in February. 

Kudos on snagging a sweet deal promptly through your agent, and your collaboration with Abigail Criteser sounds promising.

Lastly, start analyzing deals and see if you can't find a mentor/work with someone to collaborate with on your results.

Ideally as close to 1% for rent to ARV but can prove too elusive so prioritize a steady stream of interest in home, neighborhood, area etc. 

Once your list is complete, prioritize each problem area so you know which upgrades to make first.

I'm a chicago investor and I would love to discuss, collaborate, and possibly partner with other likeminded and ambitious Chicago locals.

Hello,I have not found a good GC as of today; however, I am prioritizing my search efforts towards those that are recommended through fellow investors.

However, since I didn't have access to leverage there, I prioritized other countries but it looks like that is changing at last.I have been traveling, looking at and investing in real estate in many countries as well so let me know if you want to compare notes.

You need to be able to prioritize that over other things.

Bear in mind, the 650 does not even really tell you if they will be a good tenant and prioritize rent.
