Something that is increasingly important to those clients is being cash flow positive from day 1 and this is what we deliver.

.- Who better to show the house and speak positively about than a current tenant?

With your background in the Air Force, MBA, and construction, you're in a great position to launch a real estate venture.

Unfortunately/fortunately, my clients and I have both been a position where we were armed with tenant reported violations only and acted accordingly and successfully. 

You said yourself this can positively cash flow now, with the financing you were considering.

My clients love it here because of the positive cash flowing deals and lots of appreciation potential.

You’re in an interesting position depending on how long you’ve lived in the U.S.

I have a list of them that I can share with you.Chicago, without a doubt, has some downsides, but there are also a lot of positives, like the inventory of older multi-family properties and price points at all levels.Investing out-state can be challenging because of the distance and the need for boots on the ground that you can trust 100%.

Some will be ok in 2nd position and some will not and force you to refinance out the first - but those are options that are probably cheaper than credit cards 

This has pluses and minuses.If your property is bulletproof such as no framing - cinder block construction, cement floors, gloss white paint slapped on the walls and a cheap window mount AC, then you are in a prime position to make money with S8.
