I am thinking of ditching this bank and looking into another lender.

Corby,I appreciate your responding.Is ditching a car lease an option without further damaging my credit?

I will never ditch some deals (in my case, contracts) just because they are challenging.

In addition to lower sales prices, Chicago has some pretty high property tax rates, so you could definitely be losing less to taxes (not to mention ditching those HOA fees) in another market.This is the site I used to compare tax rates, if that's helpful to you.

If you want deals 30% off ARV you'll need to have funding ready and start your own marketing program to find someone ready to ditch their house quickly.

Just looking for some help before we ditch a project that looked promising, or worse, lose money on the deal.

I have a great job selling diamonds and jewelry, so I don't plan to ditch that in favor of full time real estate investing, but I would definitely like to do more real estate on the side than I have been doing. 

Well long before anything else, ditch all the "rules" and run the real numbers.

It looks like maybe they bought a place and did some demo and now want to ditch it.

So as everyone has indicated ditch the carpet.I will say the PM is responsible for getting good tenants but they can only do so much.
