@Matt Lohry - @Marcus Auerbach is the guy to talk to if you are looking to dive deeper into the Fox Valley market.

I appreciate the honest answers and will have to dip deeper and go out of our sweet spot range. 

Right now, I am cruising through the basics of real estate investing but in the coming months, I will start to dive into deeper subjects so please be patient if I reach out with a million questions. 

Would pay more attention during inspection and ask inspector to dig deeper once I noticed some of these things.

Sorry I don't use those things.. its all in my head and on a napkin.. the math is simply too basic for me to delve into it any deeper than that.. plus its all supposition.. so I don't get caught up in trying to model things out that I cant control.. other than the very basics.so my spreadsheet in my head is simply  50% of rents are costs of some sort over the life of the deal.. and I think this is a good market and I think in 10 years the house will go up this amount..   

Only 20% of the numbers I called weren't disconnected.I think it's a reasonable place to start since it's pretty cheap but there's probably better ways to chase leads deeper.

I have heard about students renting rooms, but have never delved into that option.

For that price point you’ll prob be looking at deeper rehab. 

Just delved into the investment side of real estate!

Ill defInitely look deeper into each of those things to see what works well.
