@Fili Aguirre No one applicant is perfect, one has to give points to a strong rental history, with the mid-range credit score with a middling LL recommendation, against the applicant with low credit score (bad decisions a few years ago) but who now has a solid employer but who's missed a car payment.

I was given the advice many years ago when I got into rentals to just hang tight and see what happens....fast forward 10yrs and they are still kicking strong.....my 2 cents

In this market, just know that a lot of sellers don't like to accept FHA offers, so your offer won't necessarily be as strong as a conventional or cash offer.

I had to give up 40% of the profits but I got the first one done. 7 years in the business still going strong!

I hear Rockford is a strong market, I am from Elgin but live down in Chicago.It'd be cool if you kept a BP post of your journey as a hotel operator. 

I'm strongly considering taking one of my pre-foreclosure letters and customizing it for HOA delinquency and sending that. 

My insurance agent is strongly recommending I require any tenant to carry renters insurance, with me listed as an Additional Insured. 

I've been strongly considering Chicago and New Orleans as of late.

These properties have strong appreciation but low-moderate cash flow.

For reasons like this forum… There’s a lot of hate with chasing your dreams, but you have to keep going strong.
