Pre-Approved "usually" means they are more serious and already been at least partially underwritten by a banking institution, which means more meat on the bone to me.... 

I request the manager to join me at the unit (if the manager is on site).

If you did, were you able to sell the home close to retail price or did you have to leave some meat on the bone to the investor.I have a tenant that is 2 months into the Lease.

Feel free to contact me at anytime!

No, but I have a recirculating one in my own house for the past 23 years, and my wife cooks lots of Italian food with oils and smokes going everywhere, and it works just fine.

I was wondering if anyone in the area has any properties that are in decent conditon and are already leased and cashflowing, and would like to sell them to me at a reasonable price for cash.

The majority of the active listings for the neighborhood are around $30-$45/sqft.Based off my analysis, if an investor purchased the property from me at $61.4k ($50K purchase price plus $10k repairs plus $1,400 cost of purchase ), the investor would have around $500 positive cash flow per month.Another experienced real estate investor told me that we need to present both options; flip and buy/hold.

The Illinois list only contained Cook County, and there were over 1200 properties on it!

I am 59 years old and have been in the learning mode full time for about a year since my physical condition has kept me at home.
