If you misstep it can cost you more than lost rent and frustration.

I'm in GA currently and building a portfolio up here to be able to afford to come back home 😉Eyeing South Shore, areas of Woodlawn, Portage Park, west ridge, Humboldt park etc.

I have better deals than I can afford at this time.

Duplex 2 is a newer build(2009), more expensive(189K), but we can only afford 20% down.
