I am looking to get into tax liens locally for commercial properties, Chicago metro area only for now.

I'm currently investing in Jersey City area and understand the zoning laws recently changed.

Upon seeing this name again, I looked it up online and found that the person it belonged to had a number of articles from our local news station for a number of crimes, to include forgery, identity theft, impersonation, etc. 

I have been reaching out to potential sellers for the past few weeks in my local market.

If it’s Amazon they have the option to have the packages delivered to lock boxes at local stores, delivered to their work, or pick them up at certain locations.

I am also trying to replace my salary with cash flow so that I can just spend my day teaching people how to fly at my local airport. 

Find a local meetup, REIA, or group teaching how to run the numbers.

You might try and look locally for portfolio loan or DSCR loan.

I'm currently a buy and hold investor (utilizing various househacks), but I'm hoping to get into the STR space end of this year/early next year.In terms of your financing options, here are some things that come to mind (albeit may or may not apply to your situation):- Utilize second-home loan option (10% downpayment) if the property qualifies- Utilize a small local bank to see what loan options they may offer (perhaps some may have experience lending on STR?

If your lease is not written with that clause, you can still try to bill the tenant but you might lose if they challenge it and it goes to court.The maximum fine is determined by state laws and then may be further restricted by HOA bylaws.
