Also, if there are any successful REI/RE professionals who need any help with anything and I can serve and add value to you and your business, let me know. 

Any advice from the more seasoned members would be greatly appreciated, and I would definitely be interested in networking with some of the local investors, especially those who have also successfully done a house-hack of some sort in the north Chicagoland area.

I soon came to realize that most so called "successful" people in my eyes protected their wealth in real estate.

Has anyone here actually used it to successfully seek out any projects? 

I wish you success!

@Jahbari McLennanCongratulations on a successful year.

There are immense differences between successfully building and running a B-class turnkey buy-and-hold rental portfolio out of state and doing the same with a C/D-class high-cash-flow/low-appreciation low-income rental portfolio in your own area.

I've used Odor-Xit with some success after a deep clean, and sealing with BIN primer, but this was on the subfloor, which I then installed new flooring over. 

I have goals, I achieve my goals but still I'm left feeling like I need to be doing more.
