I once had a guy who was scheduled to start a job the next week call me at  11 pm on a Saturday night to ask if he could get a front of $300  and in return  I could hold his tools till he started the job.. ummm no and dont bother showing up on Monday either..

Cook county FHA loan maxes are $565,900 for a tri-plex and $703,250 for a four-plex.  

You have to be able to find great deals that still has "meat" on the bones for the investor to be able to profit from whether it be a flip or buy-and-hold.

I have two big negative factors against me;1-Most of what’s selling in my area is completely distressed and is selling for cheap, not any comps around for a completely remodeled property like mine.Banks don’t like that, or at least give me a hard time about it.2-I spend more in a year than I make, all on materials for remodeling my houses, I’m not in any debt but my write-offs put me at making very little money annually.My last lender had a hard time wrapping his head around it…He told me “ on paper youre going broke” I almost couldn’t stop laughing.

If you think that my experience would be helpful to you please please contact me at any time.  

I wanted to tell you if you need help that I might know the answer I would be glad for you to contact me at any time.  

Welcome, Fresh Meat!
