My first property was in N Calif back in 1998, $198K 3/1, built in the 50's, rented it for $1795.

@Stephen N. hang in there buddy, I have to admit this recovery continues to kick my butt every day!

Location is The Barrel at 4308 N Western Ave.

I just started a fix n flip in kansas city close to downtown so hopefully it goes well so that I can keep doing it. 

@Adrienne BrysonWhat is the end game, what do you want to do with the property, lease long term ,fix n flip, live there, etc.Most owners already know what an option to buy is, pretty simple to explain if they don't, I"ll give you $2,000 for the right to buy it with 3 months, if I don't buy it, you keep the money, if I do, then that money counts toward my purchase.

My father-n-law is a great contractor who currently works full time and does a lot of odd jobs on the side, and is able to help.Let me know what you got going on.

The exterior paint and siding are in great shape as well.https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/201-Sunset-...https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/100-N-Cryst...https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/51-Erick-St...https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crystal-Lake/934-Notting...

Are you doing any fix n flips or just buy and holds?

Also consider N.

@Roy N. you're always one step ahead of me.
