My first apartment in Wicker Park is probably a gold mine nowadays.

Very first one I did I had to stay in and do the rehab because Freddie Mac slipped in a deed restriction the title company didn't catch until we went to do the second closing (they weren't same day, I was doing the loan and the lender was dragging their *** so I funded it for my borrower)You used to be able to double close, but its limited nowadays. 

It seems as a safe and good plan in long term... but what would happen if the economy cracks again (I dont see the economy such an stable thing nowadays) a % of people loses their jobs, the vacancy rate rises, and the values of the property goes down and you still have a big portion of your mortgage to pay?

I'm excited about doing more short sales, seems like lenders are being more willing to move on numbers nowadays.

How's the demand in Madison Heights nowadays?

Hi Devin, you have to be very careful with cold calling nowadays.

Better than Vegas or Indian Casino odds, plus you can talk about it!

Ie, most residences have a no-business clause in the lease, yet most people nowadays perform some degree of their work nevertheless in the comfort of their home.

@Russell Brazil What are your thoughts on the casino being built do you think the area is already bought out or do you think there might be an opportunity with all those employees to find rental units when it comes online?

I understand the importance of knowing specific areas well, as this would make my life easier, but I also think that with the technology we have nowadays (maps, street view, market analysis, etc), some research and a rigorous approach, this is something that could produce very interesting results.I'd like to know your thoughts, investors!
