Thus far, I have been in touch with the owner, but he is unwilling to sell to me at a loss.

On the last flip that I sold, the buyer was telling me at ther closing about another flip he had passed on before buying mine.

That basically ruins it for me. At

$6500 for a $405K home seems a little low for Cook County.

You have to trust that person obviously, but the old saying of too many cooks in the kitchen will start to drag your projects.

It would cost me at least $5k in litigating fees to get a $1000 or so award.

I'm also selling off 1 rental property (closing tomorrow).Other than working with contractors, I have been doing all of this on my own and while 4 properties in one year doesn't sound like much, for someone holding a full time job, plus managing 4 other rental units and a note (and doing all the bookkeeping for everything), it's proven too much for me at one time.So, I've decided for my mental health I need to "take a break" and have some weekends off.

I was helping a friend who needed a place to stay and rented to him for $550 This being the 4th year I increased the rent to $625, but the increase still leaves me at a small loss each month.

And I don't buy in cook county any more.

My bad.That said, here's a great name...MEAT ON DA BONE PROPERTIES, LLCId be glad to design a logo for ya!!!!
