Ha ha - yes, I can see that being weird "welcoming me" to BP, @Brie Schmidt  - I just wanted someone to say hi to show other newbies that Chicago is a friendly crowd or to find some other Chicago investors that I hadn't met yet.... but then found it notable that no one investing in Chicago turned up! 

If you’re not able to buy it and find the massive rehab, let me know. 

I tried to write a review from work but was not able to, I will try again when I get home this afternoon which means you have about 7 hours to suck up to me :D

My rents have increased notably over the last few years and have tenants fighting over my apartments. 

Originally posted by @Eric Lasley:just to make sure I am reading this correctly, you are not able to do a 1031 exchange on an owner occupied property.

Notably, we manage Section 8 units (listed from southwest to northwest) in 35022, 35020, 35023, 35127, 35224, 35005, 35214, and 35073.That said, it’s far more difficult to name the “best” zip codes for Section 8, since you would need to factor in numerous additional risk and reward factors (e.g. rent growth potential, neighborhood quality, vacancy risk, turnover risk, repair risk, etc.).

So if I am not able to get it back to normal (I will pay it anyway) in the next few weeks PM me and I will tell you how they reported it.

Regrettably I was not able to get through the entire thread, barley finished the first page, but the situation is very clear.If I were you I would not bother to get her too involved and simply move forward with your plans.

If you're not able to get to the meetups let me know and we can grab a beer sometime since I'm right up the street.

But this has the notable "Telemarketers" pause that the receiver hears.
