Learn the basics of financials in RE, build a strong team on the ground, understand the ins and outs of RE and what market your in, understand how to actually flip the home and what strategy you are doing (Highly recommend the BRRR) as holding homes is where the money is made.REAL ESTATE IS NOT EASY!!!

A brand new building with commercial space on the first floor could mean new restaurants, shops, and businesses for the neighborhood, all of which would mean the area would become a more desirable area to live, and your property price would likely benefit as a result.  

Oh, by the way, if you have a steady amount of properties to take photos and tours you might benefit from having Giraffe360 camera and take pictures yourself.

I've always had good luck with Furnished Finder (but in the Denver market).

They do pretty heavy marketing.

I am just trying to get paid to send this deal to someone who would benefit from it.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Peter TrifanI would reach out to as many brokers and property management companies in your market for recommendations.

My main questions would be: how long does the entire process take from applying to actually having possible tenants to start picking from, and how do they determine exact amount for rent (the amounts listed on the housing authority site seem way higher than market rent, I’m wondering if I will actually get those numbers or not)any other general tips or advice is also appreciated!

Not sure if I should stay in the Chicago market or Invest out of state in a more land lord friendly state?

It's sell, take the 100k profit, your at 360k in the bank, VTSAX or money market and chill for a bit, see how this market/economy thing plays out, rates have to come down no one can afford at these rates, then maybe look to refi and get the rate under 5%.Also something to think about.....
