I've reached out to Dale Hensel, who was incredibly generous with his time. 

I was wondering if any more experienced members would be willing to share their stories about flips gone wrong, mistakes a beginner might make during the rehab, and stories about problems they have overcome to reach success? 

Then opendoor or similar company gets in touch with a homewoner (because they are spend an insane amount of money on marketing to reach sellers that are not in tune with the market).

Also, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction for things to think about and consider as you make a decision regarding your next steps.Please check out my profile and reach out if you think I might be able to help you.

I've been studying the metrics in Chicago and inventory is down.

I will PM you and reach out to him.

Thanks for reaching out.

Would be happy to chat - Feel free to reach out anytime.

If you need more funding, maybe reach out to friends or family? 

We had our second home rented out before the closing.At this point and after reading numerous books on real estate, I realized that although we had reached our goal of owning a rental, our finances were completely vertical and I need to spread out to increase cash flow and reduce the impact of a vacant property.In January 2016, I started data basing different markets across the USA.
