If you decide to do it and need an extra hand organizing DM me, I'm up by hanover but I'd come down by keene for a group.

I have clients like @Bill Brandt who are likely very organized, preparing 10-20 rentals is simply a data entry game and dealing with any changes. 

I live in Chicago and am trying decide what area would be best, my real estate friends have told me to find the most hopping area with shops, food, etc and then buy just outside that.If I’m looking to get into buy and hold rental properties, what factors do I need to consider in terms of location?

It's biggest real estate investing organization in town.

It is a pure, unique, and organic material, with an abundance of character and personality.

This is costing us about $500 a month plus gas and food for a total of ~$1100.

I’ve always said I would spend the $1,000 (flight/hotel/car/food) before investing $30k-$40k with any company.

The yachting job was great because they provide food and accommodation so I was spending less than $500 a month.When I return to the workforce in March or April, I will begin investing either near Georgetown, Texas where I would move, or if I continued yachting I would invest in Sandusky, Ohio from a distance. 

This allows them money to pay for other expenses: auto, food, taxes, etc.Evictions:  Have they ever been evicted before? 

I like the idea of flipping, but I need to organize some systems in place before I attempt that.
