Many of the other people on this forum want to be in the syndication and deal-provision driver's seat.

Tenants also use the McDonald's parking lot next door.

Downers Grove is great, and then Westmont is right next door. 

Like every linear foot (and inch) or baseboards, count the # of doors and doorknobs in the house, etc.And this is not even to mention the fact that if I hire a GC, a lot of what he will do is just sub out much of the work, in which case I'm basically paying him a "finders fee" for a sub that for all I know I could have found a better/cheaper one myself.How can I include in the contract that I want to be able to have control over what sub's are used?

@Jordan Doolittle if i started over i would buy 2-4 multi units and move every year. 10 years you would control between 20-40 doors.

In just under 8 weeks we completely renovated the entire property: roof, stucco, windows, doors, trim, flooring, granite, stainless steel, new bathroom vanities, tile tub surrounds, pool equiptment, furnace, water heater, and so much more!

If it is just a room with bath, then you could just put in a fire rated door and keep the space locked off from the rest of the house.

I walk neighborhoods with my gf, I talk to people out on their porches, I knock on doors of ****** looking properties and leave them my card.

I do know as far as cash flow I have to get at least $100 a door , the Cash on cash I prefer to be 15% but anything under 12% I really don’t want because I can get a better return on buying more trucks in my trucking business, for this particular home they are asking 189k I would have to make a offer at 150k Just to get the 12% from he numbers. 

Either way if you still have 10 years till retirement, that gives you plenty of time to keep adding doors.
