I'm also in Chicago (like @Jonathan Klemm :), and am always looking to connect with more female RE investors, especially those who are actively doing, or aspiring to work on, fix & flips.

(I have successfully won damages in every eviction I've handled so far, btw).Just letting everyone on here know what I suspect to be going on, so you can be on the lookout for this activity from some of your current and future tenants.

So while you may get several numbers for an individual, not all numbers will still be active for that person so the total accuracy rate will go down.

I currently own two duplexes here in Columbus, Ohio, and I’m actively looking to expand my portfolio with additional multifamily properties. 

You'll have less cash flow on the 200k but the absolute equity build will be faster.I'll also say that I don't actively avoid cash flow.

Both markets have a lot of activity and seem to offer great potential.

I am definitely interested - not currently an owner but have two offers out this week and actively looking to invest here - specifically Lake Harmony/JFBB area.

I don't require my agents to join NAR and in fact dropped my membership when I opened my own brokerage.If the situation made sense, I wouldn't necessarily require an agent to join MLS, but it's such a basic tool of the trade, I can't imagine someone who is active in the business going without it.

Other distractions include non income-producing activities - aka any distraction pulling you to do something other than speaking with and following up with people.How can I prepare myself?

People like Central Tucson because it is close to the downtown that has a great food and night activity scene and is also close the University of Arizona campus that draws lots of parents and grandparents and people who just like the college campus vibeWest Tucson is a great option for the views, golfing and resort feel.
