Let me know if you need any more info.  

HiI am getting started in REI and working on building up my contact list of other investors, attorneys, handymen and other friends.A little about meI have been studying real estate basics for the last 6 years, helped few of my own close friends ( my own home) buy and sell houses just to learn the trade but not for commissionWith my education and bit of experience, just started venturing in this new field but puruing very actively and aggressively.I realized having a good team along side in my journey will truly be helpful and mutually beneficial.Please reach out with your interests in REI and how we will be able to help each other.I live in the nw suburbs in Chicago area and currently working on a townhouse deal.

Then plug in the cash buyer info, and you'll get a phone number/email for them.

PM me with your contact info to connect.

If you think that I can help you in anyway please contact me through BP at any time.  

Tax info is free public info, it's insane how much info you get when you search "xxxxx" county tax parcel.

If you do decide to go to the Tampa market contact my friend @Jeff Copeland.

Gotta be local to realistically do that unless you have mature systems, scale, and reliable contacts out of state.

@Evan Ventura,People here on BP have also successfully used the cheap IKEA countertops (around $75-99 for a piece). at that price they where treated as expendables (one per tenant), and some even reported getting the install time with demo at 2-4 hours.for the other, you need to "waterproof" the common points of water entry:-caulk between the wall and countertop-use varnish on points contacting sink-use good glue near the oven/range since the usual pressure-activated glue does not fare well with heat

I hope to find more info here and by the end of 2017 buy a rental.
