@Melissa Wongkamalasai, Humboldt Park is a great area, but with you just starting out, how will you ever grow your portfolio relying on appreciation and little to no cash flow.

Many companies when applying for a dwelling policy will run an insurance score and loss history report (CLUE report) on an individual in control of the entity even if the policy will be in the name of a business. 

We're considering using an FHA loan, but due to his credit score, we haven't started the preapproval process yet.What steps would you recommend we take to secure funding for our first investment?

If you treat it like a business that you are running, you can make outsized returns, but the same can be said about launching your own real estate brokerage and building that business, or launching a tech company, etc.  

perform deprecation (most insurance companies require you to do this anyway) Repairing a fence damaged by wind or rotting is generally considered maintenance, not an improvement.

Hello all,I just passed my residential leasing agent exam and am looking to work as an agent in Chicago, IL.What companies are recommended for a starting out agent?

Alcove is another company that is similar to PadSplit but I'm not sure if they operate in your market.

So I’ve since blocked off the third floor on one side and rented it as a 1 BR for now. but when the other side leaves eventually I’m starting to lean towards raising the ground grade 28” so that the total drop is less than 20’and then I’ll knock down some walls and make the whole 3rd floor attached only to that last unit so that the whole area can use the stairs and that window as second egress. 

Luis Capriles I just officially started working with mine a few weeks ago, but so far I like how it is working out.

In fact, the median sales price of a single-family home in the Austin metro is ~52% higher than it was at the start of 2020.
