If 10% is sufficient, do that and keep the remaining money as a reserve or for your next investment.

Just curious how long you project to be a sufficient amount of time and data to ascertain if your projections of appreciation hold to model? 

Make sure to do sufficient market research prior to jumping in...especially if you are considering STRs. 

If a defaulting taxpayer has more than one item to be sold, as soon as sufficient funds have been accrued to cover all of the defaulting taxpayer's delinquent taxes, no further items may be sold.

I would say they made a lot of promises that they haven’t kept and paint a very unrealistic picture with an extremely high pressure sales scheme that does a disservice to the vast majority of their students.

I truly wish you vast amount of success!

My savings are falling short after my home purchase so I need alternatives that can be implemented right away (ie I don’t want to wait 5+ years to have sufficient savings to only then invest in rental).Any feedback is welcomed. thanks 

For those landlords who take security deposits in City of Chicago, is a separate business bank account sufficient for the security deposit or do I still need to set up the special landlord account that requires all W-9 paperwork from tenants etc?

I’m sure they exist somewhere, but the vast majority of small businesses just don’t generate the income nor the margins to hire the quality of people nor the specialized skills needed to produce without the involvement of the owner willing to wear many different hats, pick up the slack where needed, and work the hours necessary to make the business a success. 

@William Hochstedler  its vastly different in IMHO  the 25% down plus closing cost plus reserves is more than 6k down plus small reserve.. so investor usually has more wherewithal out the gate.
