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.  

Any recommended Home Inspectors in the Chicago Western Suburbs, Cook County, Dupage County.

This yearning came to me at an early age.

If I lock up a property at 70% of what me and my partner feel is the ARV #,  then set up a specific date where potential cash buyers can meet with me at the property to do their own due diligence.

Please feel free to message me at any time.Best wishes to all, Kyle Miles

In addition I pay FTB taxes quarterly- yes it comes back to me at the end of the year, but still I'd like to see some kind of cash flow.

A friend of mine will finance it to me at 5 percent over 30 years with only 10 percent down, and my closing costs financing with him will only be around $350 for the title company, etc.

A wholesaler has to get a super low price--even better than the investor himself acting alone--to get a finder's fee that's worthwhile AND leave enough meat on the bone for an investor to use the property as a profitable rental or rehab.
