I'll be doing 3.5% down so ~$7350 if my offer is accepted.

I have Associate Degrees from Gwinnett Technical College in Residential Construction Management and Air Conditioning Technology.

@Bobby SharmaThe party is still accepting people!

I am not aware of any laws in the Chicago/Cook cnty/IL area, but if you do it, perhaps do it on a point based system like an tenant applicant acceptance...so if you get sued you can prove it was objective and not subjective based on protected class status.

This also impacts the kind of tenants you can get to some degree. 

The list price on a short sale is set by the owner and agent, and it is not generally an indication of what price the bank will accept, as they do their own evaluation.  

If the bank accepts, I need to give a 10% cash deposit within 48 hours.

I am working on my first deal currently, our offer has been accepted and we asked the seller to fix a leak, so waiting for the answer, and then hopefully closing!

I got a college degree In business with an emphasis on real estate.  

My background:  degree in finance, early 30s, I work in the industry but not in sales.
