Not a big fan of the fish-bowl lenses, but understand can be helpful in giving perspective- as long as you're not leading with those pics, I think should be fine.

Also, should I be creating my domains now before I start wholesaling or can I just make a Facebook fan page etc in the beginning and get my domains while I'm making LLC?

Kevin, I'm not a big fan of duplexes in low income neighborhoods, I own a couple and a good tenant in this price point will just go to a single family home.

@brad gibsonHi BradI am not a fan of your unit mix.  

(and I'm not a huge fan of real estate books in general because they are either too broad or to specific to a location that I don't invest in)

I'm making the move because of quite a bit of reasons but to sum it up - it's really expensive in Chicago and I've never been a fan of the cold.

@Laura Srocki - yes I'm a big fan of BRRRR, but I don't think you need to avoid flipping based on risk, etc.

Definitely suggest Multi- especially for CT... rentals on singles in CT are really tough to make the numbers work pretty often due to the high taxes but you can find some killer deals in CT on the MLS for multis as investors often aren't a fan of CT due to the high taxes compared to neighboring states. 

@Derek Kirkwood As for improvements, I just need to get a new washer/dryer, update the driveway, and put a fan on each stove(maybe not needed, but its important to me), so in total less than $2000. 

Perhaps you can make them a deal before the foreclosure goes through.It sounded like it could be a win win, which I would be a fan of.
