Hi Alex - There is a different things to consider when involving international investors.

From what I've read, some electric providers might not charge for the new service upgrade itself, but adding the meters, connecting the upgraded service and adding/updating panels would require an electrician, which would incur costs.If anyone has experience with this type of electrical service upgrade, particularly in Chicago, I would appreciate your advice and any information on costs and the process involved. 

The biggest issue is most of these "gurus" that get new wholesalers involved teach them to be deceptive when they approach realtors. 

Affordable housing, which means Fed funds, is a very tricky type of development for everyone involved.

At the risk of being proven wrong, I find it hard to believe that the Department of Homeland Security is involved in investing a failed real estate investment. 

I've had success simply informing the tenant that I plan to involve a collections agency as a next step if they don't pay what they owe.

@Jennifer FernézFrom my experience, a solid approach to real estate investing involves focusing on cash flow, building wealth, and managing risk effectively.

With over an estimated $300 billion of extremely delinquent debt yet to be liquidated to the secondary market, there is a a lot of opportunity to reposition these loans, keep folks in their homes and make a very nice profit for all involved. 

So, as Kristine pointed out, it’s crucial that people are made aware of the risks involved.

. - Are u sure there was a 1031 involved?
