@Ian Middleton, I am doing flips in Humble, Texas City, and north Houston at the moment.

Good afternoon all,My boss has called upon me to review a large parcel of land they own in north-central Illinois.

I never owned any real estate and have been renting a high rise one bedroom for $1,800 in River North with my girlfriend for the past couple years, and we love it here.

I never owned any real estate and have been renting a high rise one bedroom for $1,800 in River North with my girlfriend for the past couple years, and we love it here.I have done well in my career and am currently sitting on a mid 7 figure liquid portfolio all invested in equity index funds, and I think diversifying a bit in real estate might be a good strategy.

OK quick advice so I'm refinancing my duplex I've only owned it for almost one year, The real estate market is hot out here in North Idaho the home gotta appraised for 100 K more than purchase price They only give you 80% of the appraised value with a cash out refi , I was hoping for more but they're only willing to give me 17k at the closing table, It will raise my mortgage $200 monthly from 1880 to 2080 Since I'm house hacking The $1400 for rent on the other side supplements my income Which leaves me not having to pay too much to cover the paymentI've been going back-and-forth, but I really need to pay off $17000 of credit card debt It will raise my credit score significantly at least and then I'm thinking 6 more months down the road I can move it to a conventional loan or take a take advantage of FHA Program that lowers my interest rate if I have a good credit score to lower my payment right back downMy credit card bills amounts to 490 monthly( This is just the minimum payments) If I do Go through and take this to the closing table I will be saving $300 a month instantly By having to not send out 490 monthly in cc bills although my mortgage will go up $200 should I go through with it or try to plug away at the cc debt for the next year !?

It had no stop sign and I lived 20 miles away from it in a National Forest.  

Anyone have experience / intel with off campus housing north of broad around 16/17th and Montgomery / Cecil b Moore?

You can also use FB, where there are digital groups that wholesalers use to post their deals; Jacksonville Real Estate Investors, North Carolina Real Estate Investors (ex).I would also Google your county/city and then "home buyers" or "cash house buyers".

I live in Washington state just north of Seattle in Lynnwood (Snohomish County) for those familiar with the area.How do you guys file your taxes for a rental unit to maximize deductions?
