I would see what do you like and very good at running the numbers finding off market deals, raising funds, construction or so forth.

My landlord just raised my rent.

Back in the GFC we bought some stock in our small bank ( they would have gone out of business if they did not raise capital) and held it until last year when the bank got bought.. we did very well on that move.. its the only stock I had bought though and I did not really think of it as a stock buy more of investing in my bank so they could keep loaning me money for my projects LOLI really appreciate everyones chiming in I have been taking notes and I am learning something..

Not sure if that’s because of being raised by grandparents or ex-military but I’ll get there soon enough.

Rents were 30-40% below what they should be and while we could just raise the rents as is, with cosmetic updates it allowed us to gain even further value and maximize profits.

Ability to raise rents 30-40% per unit.

If I’m unable to raise money through my network how else could I get financing for a deal with no W2 income and a high debt to income ratio?

I was raised in the Zion/Waukegan area.

I'm not changing my qualifications, if anything I am raising them, and focusing more on people who can work from home or those who are unionized.

However being I am on a 1 year lease at an agreed price I should be exempt from this raise.
