I work full-time but am available and willing to do as much of the labor as I can after work and on Saturdays to cut back on labor costs.Looking to you and the Bigger Pockets community to help guide me along the way.Please let me know what you think and what excatly can be done and what my next steps should be.

The truth or fallacy of that statement depends on the community in which they are placed.

Is there a way of figuring out how much it would be for a property without having to do an elevation cert for every house I’d want to consider?

@Douglas Miller welcome to REI and the BP community.

Taxes are low, communities/schools are good, multiple types of transportation to the City, and many people who work in Chicago live here.Best neighborhoods for your price range: Highland, Munster, Griffith, Schererville, Crown Point (a bit further from transportation), Dyer, St.

It does my heart good to see community efforts like Shelby Park begin to reach critical mass. 

We at Spartan are excited about our city's ongoing Rennaissance - both personally and professionally - and I wanted to make sure the community here on BP got a glimpse of what's really going on south of the Mason Dixon.

Hi BP community,Im a first time home buyer and I need some advise on where to start with seeking a conventional loan. 

If there is any discrepancy later (and it sounds like there will be), you'll want that email to show you said that driveway was not community use and you want it to be CLEAR that she was sly, and you were upfront.

So, I was wondering if community can help finding a reliable source of financing.
