I am happy to be a part of the Bigger Pockets Community.  

Definitely start jumping into the community here and feel free to ask any questions related to Real Estate investing!

Im really not a fan of your plan, are you unable to borrow at a bank, the Commercial lender at a small community bank generally can close fast and at a low cost, I can do 6 mo ir 1 year Interest only at 4.5% on a 20 year amm, i need 20% down and fund fix up, but they would also do a loan based on ARV, and you put 20% of ARV down an they fund purchase and fix up.

So I'm looking into other communities.

New to the REI community and looking to get some great guidance and advice from the seasoned vets and learn as much as I can.Have been doing some initial research into Multi-family, buy-and-hold, (>,=2 units) in the Chicagoland area (mainly western suburbs, Brookfield, LaGrange, Downers Grove, Wheaton, and the like) and found some units with potential.Here's my current question:I've found a property that I believe has some potential.
