Hello, a friend of mine is further along in Real Estate than myself.

When you find an off market property, it's like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

You are sitting on a gold mine.  

@Tim Steed - Just sent you a friend of mine who has been in the Chicago plumbing game for decades. 

A friend of mine and fellow investor has a debt free portfolio and his peace of mind when Covid & the shut downs happened was 100x anyone else who wasn’t sure if the market was going to crash or what.

I want to of course save the time of data mining but also to obtain profits from the exercise of it.

What can I do to get approved so I can get a house to start renting out the rooms and start putting my money towards something that’s mine.

It closed much tighter after that but still wasn't air tight. jalousie windows by definition will never be air tight unfortunately but they should be tight enough to prevent insects from entering. depending on the condition of yours maybe swap them out for regular windows if the energy efficiency is what you're looking for. mine was in a condo so i had to keep with the same window style. 

If you're going to go by historical trends physical Gold and Silver will be a great place to put your money in.

Did you use numbers like mine?
