I work out in Chicago at California and Addison (without saying which company but EVERYONE in upper IL pays us) and personally,  I have no intention of buying anything in Chicago.   

I use MySmartMove to screen applicants, after I do the initial leg work from their hard application.

He did lots of leg work and connected others who were defrauded to the point that the person could no longer do business.

Hey @Mike SoofianSounds like a fixer-upper house hack, which is a fantastic way to get started.

However, if we decide to buy a fixer upper type property in the city, I can actually contribute a pretty marginal amount of capital and my percentage in the company would initally be higher (can likely help around 10-20% if under 50K and of course depending on down payment/what anticipate rehab costs would be).

I'm estimating the house is worth about 280K, it would be nice to get out of the FHA loan and also payoff and have some money to rehab some fixer uppers that I bought.One option is maybe to try get another HELOC (should get a better rate than the current HELOC) to payoff the mortgage and pay off the current HELOC, closing cost should be very minimal with Huntington, could end up with some extra cash for investment but stuck with a variable rate.Another option is to refi, fixed rate, able to get out of the FHA insurance, HOPEFULLY Get a rate 3 or lower, payoff my HELOC and have some money left over for investing BUT those closing costs!

I am not a fan of painted but may try this for some upper cabinets we have in one of our units. 

Hello BP experts.I am new to REI and looking to invest in FL area or Pittsburgh.I would be an remote investor and would like low overhead (no fixer-upper) property to begin with.

The realtor called us about a fixer upper house the owner needed to sell.

Now, this is WORK and talks a lot of leg running.You can also flip retail....
