I also have houses in a beach side Florida market, and they appreciate nicely.  

I am currently in the market for land where I can build a new construction (ground-up construction).I recently read about the HomeStyle loan on BiggerPockets and wondering if anyone in Chicago has had experience they can share?

My husband and I just sold our rental in WA state so I have some funds to invest - would love to chat with you to see if we could both benefit from a partnership! 

@Kevin Michel I'd work backwards from your skillset, amount of capital you have (or can raise), and the market you're interested in. 

It appears that a significant portion of the business's value lies in its name, website, marketing, furnishings and other intangible assets.

By dispo side I plan on wholesaling and working with other wholesalers in the market who also have leads and connecting them with my buyers if the numbers, location and details are all in a row.  

When the market was a little hotter in the recent past, a lot of listing agents in my area would shun or downplay offers that came with financing from credit unions or "too big to fail" banks. 

I'll send you a DM as well but wanted to connect as I'm very involved in the multifamily market for small(2-4 unit) and midsize(small apartment complexes) in the Pensacola area as both a real estate agent and as an investor. 

Hi Aarati,Are you thinking of investing in the U.S. market or your first property in Australia? 

If you can do well in this market, you should be able to get more good deals done when things get a little easier for buyers/investors!
