Anyone who is crazy high or crazy low compared to the others needs to be looked at carefully. 

It's rational to be scared of success when you are so young and don't know the steps to take to get there.

We have a duplex with an extra flagpole lot that we are hoping to set up with an ADU for short term rentals.

Hi Everybody I am new to real estate investing and after listening to the podcast I am definitely happy to be joining the forum and eager to learn and take action.

The only reason I've heard of Morris Illinois, is beacuse our family used to drive to central Illinois to camp and boat, and Morris is directly on Route 47.Are you currently investing in Chicago or near you in Joilet @Scott Meech?

then by 2008 or so it was back up to 2.5 and today probably 7 mil or more..

At the time my only issue was their loans appear to be backed by wall st.. so the closing docs were enough to kill not one but two trees and took way more time to sign the  whole package then I like to spend signing closing docs :)  But thier fee's and rates are hard to beat.
