From what I heard alot of LU members are ranking officals in the Apartment Association that I'm a member of so I'm being a bit cautious.

After that period, be cautious of OWC originated without a LO and verify everything.

hi all,i am new to this site and also to rei. i have been immersing myself in information and educational materials about different aspects and types of rei, and came across yet another "product" that may be worthwhile. i already have spend quite a bit of money on education, and although i did and am learning from it, it certainly wasn't worth the exorbitant cost so now i am extremely cautious about educational materials.anyway, i have been reading about "al aiello's goldmine and 1031 exchange" tax program that seems to be advertised around the web for $897/997.

Is there anything in particular that stands out or that I should be cautious of?

@Josue Rivera I would be cautious about taking it all the way back to a SFH.

aligns with your current financial plans but I would be very cautious about this. 

I was attempting to be cautious in indicating I'm not in this niche (flipping and utilizing HM) and am sharing 2nd hand observations.  

I would say be cautious and ask an agent in the area what they think it could be rented out for.

I'm considering another offer closer to $200k ($210k max, but I feel that may be a bit high).I like the deal and I like the area (my kid plays soccer at a field within walking distance from the property), but this being my first recent deal, I just wanted to make sure I don't have "must buy something now syndrome", but also not being too cautious.

I find that in general, Zestimates are usually within about +/- 30% of the actual numbers so it may be held as a general guideline for *about* how much a house may be worth or rent for, but take it with a grain of salt for sure.Oak Park is in a good spot right now in terms of appreciation for the area, but I personally tend to be cautious about assuming any more than 3% annual appreciation. 3% has been the overall average appreciation across many decades, and any appreciation that ends up above and beyond what I assume is icing on the cake.
