We are looking to buy a condo in Chicago as the new rental, for a variety of reasons, but most importantly because it would rent better in the city, and it fits our desired price point (so we can allow for the rest of $$ from the sale for paying off their Oregon home and pay all, or some of the taxes on the boot). 

Not sure if it can help change our luck with the city) 

The city of Cairo and Alexander County as a whole are in a very depressed economic situation.

When wholesaling vacant residential land (city lots or larger residential parcel in rural areas) how long is the due diligence period?

@An Lan I’ve lived in many cities where overseas investors do this.

The city of Chicago has made a huge push to get rid of any lead service lines, so it's no surprise you have to mess with that.   

Also if your condo HOA doesn't stop you the City of Plano might. 

But I get it in the lower value assets of the mid west and rust belt cities wholesalers dominate because they spend 100s of thousands in marketing for those type of assets..

On line look for property listings that aren’t in the auction list by county or city.  

The Suburban markets with New construction offering decent builder buy-down rates 5s %, and selling completed inventory homes to investors is an opportunity we’re pointing investors to, as well as Duplexes outside the city, that’s where we’re finding some of the best options to get closest to positive cashflow with 20/25% down.
