@Matt DoubeltI just closed on a 4 plex off of Jefferson St in DT Albany. 

Quote from @Jefferson Zulmar: Hello,I’m a 23 year old finance graduate located in Atlanta,GA and would like to learn more about real estate investing.

NW Chicago neighborhoods (Portage Park, Irving Park, Avondale, Logan Square, Jefferson Park, Albany Park, etc) generally have higher prices, higher taxes, and higher quality neighborhoods while SW Chicago neighborhood such as Little Village, Pilsen/Lower West Side, Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Brighton Park, etc have lower prices, lower taxes, and not as high quality neighborhoods but still B or C class.

Hey Jefferson,It all depends on the lender.

@Jefferson Mondragon welcome to BP! 

Hey guys, I'm Jefferson, I'm 19 years old, Ive been looking into real estate and I really want to start investing, however I don't have enough money to buy a 800k house with straight cash, I'm obviously going to need to get a mortgage, however I've not even had a credit card for more than a year, its around the 7-9 month range, I've never missed a payment, but I feel lenders prefer history, along with that, i work retail, I've only had this job around the same length as my credit card, I do have the money for a downpayment of at least 50-80k, my question is if I'm even able to get a mortgage, I may have the money, but I don't think that's everything lenders care about, any thoughts?

@Jefferson Mondragon  I see that you are super eager to get started and take action...

My name is Jefferson, Im 19 years old from Canada, Im interested in getting into real estate, specifically Rental Properties, my goals one day are to become financially independent and gain passive income through my portfolio of rental properties, Im still very new to this though, so if anyone can recommend me some good books, videos, courses, bootcamps that can help me reach this goal one day, that would be greatly appreciated.

Many people dont know but Houston is the home of the worlds largest medical center (Texas Medical Center) Add to that, that the cost of living for a large metropolis city is low in Houston compared to other top 5 largest cities.

I buy and hold (Mainly BRRRR's) all over Orleans, Jefferson and St Tammany parish and sometimes surrounding parishs.
