Currently concentrating on the pretty house market in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

It’s in a cluster of small, mostly well maintained multi-family properties surrounded by single family homes but this one is somewhat of a trouble building in the neighborhood.

I think I'm just going to set my filters to include properties bought in the last 10 years. 2-4 bedrooms, 1-4 baths in my surrounding cities. absentee owners.

I invest in Western PA, particularly Mercer and surrounding counties.

Located in historical district of Cedar Rapids surrounded by mostly commercial property and a brand new medical facility.Bank is lending 177,600 and I am having the seller carry a 2nd of 17,400 amortized over 20years @ 5% with a 5 year baloon.

Thats a relatively smaller area with a much smaller surrounding footprint than the Chicagoland area. 

Hi Keith, welcome to the forums, you've made a great decision to surround yourself with all these people.

Surrounded by SFH and I like that.

I didn't think that it might actually be a mobile home with additions surrounding it.

Additionally, the land surrounding the property is a registered national historic site (more red tape to developing) with a recently paved walking path that is becoming popular for people exercising (no windows look out onto the path).
