Here in Chicago (Illinois) you can only wholesale (market for sale) one property per year without having your real estate license.

Hello BiggerPockets community! I'm Andrew Frost from Decatur, IL. I'm particularly interested in learning more about long term and short-term investment opportunities.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy hunting, running...

I'm also here looking to get more information on Fund&Grow and trying to see what others' experience with F&G has been.

Hi Kimberly, Welcome to the community- There are a lot of good professionals and resources here on bigger pockets to learn and grow.  

There’s usually a post about it on here, so set your alerts to anything “Buffalo”.

Still learning the ropes here so mostly looking for any general pointers on the challenges investing in a different market than where you physically are comes with its own challenges.

I am a rookie here.

I am looking at this property12906 venice blvd 90066price is $1495000As you can see in the listing, they claim this property is rented at $10,000 a month$120,000 / 1495000 = 8%any idiot (even me) knows in Los Angeles you would be lucky to get a cap rate of 4%what's going on here?

Thats why I decided to bring it here. 

Here are the numbers on that deal: Purchase Price + Closing Costs (buy): 181,291$Total Rehab: 18,145$Holding Costs: 6,013$Closing Costs (Sell): 12,564$Sale Price: 220,053.42Profit/Loss: -7,939.41Key Lessons I learned: 1) Be wary sourcing deals from wholesalers.
