All I'm saying is that for the risk you take when flipping, I don't see any deals worth the risk. 

Wanted to see if anyone could point me in the right areas to look at, what areas to avoid, discuss a partnership or any information worth sharing.

The realtor soon has an altered view of what the rule is; they see the rules as they were told.

Hi AgainYou mention Lincoln Park/lakeview - I'm going to take a guess at 2800-3000 North Lincoln.Before buying I would advise taking a trip down to view the street, there are TONS of vacant storefronts. 

I've been waiting to stack this FNMA guideline change on top of Oakland's new positive view of in-law units to put a very unique deal together (oh stars and moons, why do you make me wait prior to aligning?)

@David Lehane I just ran the numbers on a bundled group of 16 fourplexes for two others, here on BiggerPockets, that are looking for something similar and depending on your financing numbers it may be worth you looking into. 

We could have used the 10K on the kitchen and wallpaper removal and not have wasted an entire year's worth of my weekends. 

If you experienced monthly losses, (about $1k), and live in it for 1 year to qualify the property as my primary residence, is it worth it?

Some of the higher net worth residential buyers also want some guidance regarding if it is a smart buy or not, at least what I've seen thus far.
