Even the few no money down deals I have done wasn’t really no money down deals, because I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars in marketing  and typically I had to do some sort of rehab to the property once I got it.The last Sub2 deal idea I had to give the seller $17,000, pay all the closing cost, repaint the whole house, and make payments on the thing three months while I was getting it ready.The one before that the guy was behind almost $7000, I had to change the carpet, I painted the whole house, I made a number of payments while I was getting it ready, and I paid the closing cost, and I probably spent close to $7000 on a marketing campaign . 

I should also say my main interest is purchase a duplex & house hack. 

Housing pays for sometimes 100% of the rent.

Also, even though we make negative cash flow, since its big house and income from house is a lot we had to pay more taxes. 

I am a first time homebuyer looking to house hack in Chicago and I have an almost 800 credit score, but I don't really have much saved up beyond my emergency fund for a down payment.

Simply due to the house being in the local community. 

To further expand my real estate endeavors, I acquired another condo near the strip, implementing a house hacking strategy to optimize the use of space.

I bought a house and have three roommates living with me.

It seems there are a lot of scam website sites out there for flipping houses and finding funding.

This house is the only thing I have left of my parents.
