Still trying to get my head wrapped certain ideas concerning real estate, but I am always interested in learning more as it seems the best way for me to reach my goals of being able to afford a good sized family and actually spend sometime around them instead of 60 hour work weeks.

If this goes over your head, maybe it is time for a bookkeeper?  

I am currently in Grand Rapids MI, but looking in the South Florida Market, also the Hilton Head area as well.

Just learning for now, I'll reach out to some banks to figure this stuff out better later once my head is more on straight.

Let's talk about your portfolio and how I can make your head spin with the value of your property!!

For instance, if two people who want the same property but only indivually have 10% down partenered - then inherently they could get the 20% down together.

Also, the metra runs through that area and heads to Park Ridge which I really like also.Plus, super close to O'hare airport.

Don't softball something when you're looking for $100k investments for instance). 

Me and the family member made a good amount of cash and he was very impressed with the results to the point that he added some extra dollars to my commission.

Sometimes the best deals you make, are the ones you don't, and I can guarantee you this, when you start rationalizing, or getting emotionally tied to a property, you're heading downhill from that point forward.Not enough info ($$$$$ numbers) to really even understand the true/complete picture here.
