Hi, mom died last year and my sister wants me to go in on her condo ... condo in Cook Co.

I grew up in the area and my sister owns a three unit in Zion still.

Greetings all my brothers and sisters taking over the world one property at a time!!

I came across real estate investing by the simple fact that I had gotten used to living on my own and so three months of living at home with my mom and sister whom I love very much, it made me feel some type of way.

With Santa Barbara being a bit of a pricy market, I think Santa Maria (up north) and Carpinteria (a little south) are markets I would take a look at.

@Charleston Moss @Maria Koch @Kevin Leonce @Tom Wagner Thanks you all SO much, I appreciate the kind words and support!

His sister has been helping with the 4 unit transaction and she would probably welcome some solutions for his primary residence.

 Dear Craig, since my sister was a resident radiologist in Miami, I am intimately familiar with working with residents and doctors (SunTrust is one of many options!).

My sister designs my places.

I just rented a unit in under two weeks while a near identical layout unit (with old appliances, carpet, round toilet, and plastic handles) in a sister building just across the street is still on the market and approaching 3 months vacant.
