All 3 parts are critical to being successful here and we’ve been doing it with todays prices, todays competition and todays interest rates.  

Availability and a whatever-it-takes-whenever mindset is critical too.

Hey @Mordechai Chaimovitz - It sounds like you are talking about Chicago's NW side because there are definitely tons of areas in Chicago where a 2 flat can cashflow well.I know for me buying on the nw side was critical to my personal well-being and life happiness. 

Hindsight Critique•Continue to build relationships to increase deal flow•Property manager (Mercer Hughes) is critical to completing renovations and quick tenant placement•Continue to build relationships with private lenders and personal investors•Have cash available to make quick competitive offers Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I listened to all the previous hearings and the general sentiment was acknowledging that STRs are critical to the area's massive tourism industry and just banning them is not wise for the local economy.

The list goes on.For mission-critical items, you want quality, not cheap.

I'm looking around to find some investors to take it from me and just feel a little lost with dispo, i want to make my deals super sweet sugar coated cherry on top for all my investors on my list so what i ask is if you can rip apart this deal for me and make sure i have enough meat on the bone for my investors, below are the statsFirst off address, 1011 Richard Bell Ave Perry FLPurchase price $110,000Seller says the bank is willing to let go of mortgage for $91,000ARV $180,000-$200,000Needs new roof (20 years old) and central ac system went down about a year ago (around 4k for 3 ton ac)Ive been in roofing for about 2 years and im estimating the roof will cost between 18k-20kI take constructive and negative criticism very well and i only want to improve, no opinions are unwelcome i want full scrutiny with this deal please. 

You took criticism like someone who is looking to get better, and realize it's not personal.

Prioritize tackling critical issues and beefing up security to keep your property safe and sound.

I couldnt agree more though, cost is critical.
