I agree with Crystal, there are way too many sub markets to say they are all on the same cycle.  

@Blake King This may be obvious and also your intention, but I would make it crystal clear to any title and escrow person what it is exactly you are trying to do.  

Hi i want to know would anybody be interested in any deals in other areas like new hope, crystal, robbinsdale etc

You should define actually received as being in your account for the terms to be crystal clear.

@Paul Allen Just to make things crystal clear, I'm neither a CPA or financial advisory this this pure opinion.  

I am compiling a list to see who I want to work with.DETAILS:I'm looking in the territory from: NORTH to Vernon Hills/ Mundelein, WEST to Crystal Lake, SOUTH to Bloomingdale/Naperville, EAST to DesPlain.CRITERIA: Single family home, condo, duplex (exception), townhomeMin Purchase: 80k Max Purchase, 250KMax Repair: 40KMin Profit: 20KThanks to all!

I haven't found a crystal ball anywhere yet no matter how hard I look :)

@Crystal SmithGood grief, I meant Wicker Park!

The honey will turn dark and crystalize and can run down staining wood or what ever a dark brown or blackish color.

If your crystal ball is 10% over 18 months, offer the lease option with a purchase price at new appraisal in 18 months, but that is not a pure option, you need a set current price to be a pure option.And you risk that being a disguised sale per the IRS.
