As @Lumi Ispaswrote, the neighborhood is just NW of a super hot area in Chicago, its close to the train, I-90 highway, and bars/restuarants/coffee shops.

I am trying to figure out how to find the property owners after I have been driving for dollars!

There are also individual training sessions on a variety of topics.

I made the choice to live in a modest home a drive a modest vehicle....

Btw- I live about 15 minutes drive from Yonkers, NY. 

I have no money to start, no credit but tons of drive and ambition.  

indeed, some areas of California can be a tough nut to crack, especially much of Southern California and the Bay Area for example...but sometimes you can drive to outlying areas and find far more affordable property.  

I avg 17mpg around my drive area & >22 on the HWY in a new Ram 1500.

Drive around and look to see who is listing other buildings like your type and contact them.

Nothing sounds nicer now that i'm trying to invest than being able to drive a p.o.s car and have way less things to be debt free than to have the amenities that i cant seem to sell and debt hanging over my head...
