I love in the suburbs of Chicago and go to a university nearby.

We are a small family operation but we love doing artful flips.

If you're in the Little Rock area and this sounds like something you'd be interested in, I'd love to hear from you.

) 2: Funding ( I know Hard money lenders are an option but other than that I'm clueless) and 3 which is the biggest obstacle right now is that I don't have any funding, I have 10k to my name and that's it.I've been doing wholesale for a couple of months and I know the basics of real estate but never bought or fixed a property.I would love to hear your suggestions and what could I do ?

I personally love the Cleveland market for its cash flow.

I certainly love my "job"!

I love Leveraging OPM (Other Peoples Money) My opinion is to use a HML, and save your money.

My wife would love to buy a home but after seeing the returns from my rental property, I just can't justify buying a primary residence due to the opportunity cost.

remember your first home is not your forever home, it's your first rental so it doesn't need to be everything you want.look for homes where the bones are good, but cosmetically needs love. don't by pre 1960 if you can help it. you'll end up just having to replace all the guts like plumbing and electrical at some point. it's inevitable. look in areas where the path of growth is headed, but might not be currently. think 5 years out. look for resources like your local chamber of commerce to see what businesses are coming in and where. your city planning office should also be on your call list as they can help show where most permits are being pulled for development. follow the money. go to local investing meetups. crowdsource local knowledge and form meaningful relationships. those who've gone before you typically will help out and help you avoid the mistakes they've already made. onward.

We love NYC but we are due for a change of pace, and a change of scenery.
