Additionally, the super low down payment and powerful strategy somewhat rationalizes paying more for the property than a traditional homebuyer or investor.

It's a super accessible way for people to get started in REI.

10% is super high. 

Hey @Jacques Ikolo - That's definitely something tough to deal with, chicago inspectors can be super tough. 

I have seen Inspectors refuse to issue a retro permit even on obviously super high-end work done by a known Contractor...

Home Warranty (far from perfect, many people don't like them for a lot of reasons mainly because they are a pain to deal with, but as a safety net for someone looking to get going despite not having super deep pockets yet, they are worth looking into IMO, just pick a company with a good track record, and often you can have your agent pay for it as a closing gift). 

Super excited to be here!

Any advice would be super helpful.

As I just don't have enough experience yet and if I don't work to put better systems in place I'm going to burn down before I even get started.I also think my RE agent was not super investor friendly and I didn't take enough time to find a quality agent.

Super long term goal, cash flow of 20k/month.
