I have weighed many options and feel that multi-unit properties are going to be best for me at first.

Two things I suggest you consider when deciding on areas are: 1) Landlord/tenant laws: i.e. how long does it take for an eviction.2) Village rehab laws/building inspectors.I would strongly recommend you stay away from cook county.

I agree with @David Cook The 2% stuff can be good if you absolutely must have cash flow now.

If you have any resources for me at all I would seriously appreciate any help at all.

I will have a property manager but she will not be with me at that first meeting.

Point blank, I would tell the tenant to turn on fans, open doors and to always run the fan when cooking or boiling water.

If something changes, will you please give me a call - I really do think we can work together.RyanCream comes up to the surface, Ryan, but you need to let it COOK.  

You're trying to signal the seller that expert was wrong by a factor of 2... going to be a tough sell.I'd work directly with the seller's agent to find out what the background was... let them know you're an investor and flipper and that there needs to be enough meat on the bone for you to profit.
