Here are some of the things I have used it for:Scraping military listings from USAA & Military By Owner.Scraping properties from a turnkey provider to get notified when new ones were added in a specific zip code.Scraping Padmapper for rental listings, and then reaching out the owners.Scraping state / county auction sites.That last one is particularly interesting to me, those sites are usually terrible, old-fashioned, government run sites.

I also wanted a job career doing something I can be passionate about while also not having my financial security being dependent on me getting up at 5am, 5 days a week, for the next 30 years of my life.In addition my grandfather has various real estate holdings in the Chicago and surrounding suburbs (vacant lots in up and coming areas and affordable housing) but unfortunately he's old fashioned and operates under the "fix it myself and save a dime" mentality.

That means that you must gave a high tolerance for risk and the stomach (and wallet) to ride out whatever problems occur between parties.I current face several similar deals in my inventory now.

It's been a hell of a ride during the past 2 years.

Buy slowly, buy excellent properties that will appreciate, self-manage, put excellent tenants in your properties (no section 8), pay off debt, ride the economy over the long term.

That’s been a hard ride.

You MUST come in with that, and it MUST be money that you saved up the old fashioned way.- "Well, how's the lender going to know??"

PM me if you want to ride up there.

Hi,I needed some feed back regarding purchasing a townhouse in south riding for 420,000?

My prior agent had given me an MLS portal, so I could find the deals, but when I did, I had to ride by the property and look around outside to scope out the neighborhood and general condition of the property.
