Hello, New to real estate investing in the Chicago land area (I live in Joliet). My primary goal is to learn for now. I'm interested in learning buy & hold and whole sale.thanks,Henry

I believe the main issue stems from the hours an appraiser typically works to produce a quality product.

These pre-approvals are not normally specific to one loan produce (i.e. a FHA 203k loan).Any bank can review your information and provide a pre-approval.  

Business relationships, co-producers of materials or co-speakers at a seminar, someone who endorses the method or program, coaches, "mentors" have acted in some area to be tagged as associates.

Equitable interest or equitable conversions, however, you choose to express yourself or words should produce some clarity for the seller.   

What they require is for you to produce document for your transactions as and when requested.Now if you use QuickBooks - IRS can demand you to share your QuickBooks file. 

that's tough a good chunk of those assets that are not producing any income.

When I originally started reading up on real estate I anticipated purchasing a two unit multi family home close to Blairstown and renting the units to produce cash flow.

I really appreciate all the messages and I had a great birthday for all that are interested.You guys rock!

Using debt for income producing assets, good.
