Lastly look in areas that you would like to visit, that can really help to narrow down where to look.

Hello, I am a new hopeful in this community and after a lot of researching, I have narrowed down a property in Chicago that I think may be worth investing in.

I used a conventional loan and put down 5%.

If we're looking at a portfolio of multiple SFR's there's some cost sharing so the per property cost goes down depending on how many properties.

Im hoping someone can give me some advise on this, I'm looking at buying a triplex and putting about 25% down and using a DSCR loan for the rest, has anyone that has used a DSCR loan have anything good or bad to say about them?

I just had a guest check in and the ceiling fan blade (less than a month old) fell off and hit him in the head (no injuries or anything) but they would like me to come take a look at it.  

I would get a second opinion.Again, if the place burned down, would you pay the tenant a place to live for a year?

I have a small list of leads on vacant or run down homes that I would like to send mailers out in hopes to purchase the homes.

Since they are solely transaction based and don't have to deal with tenants after they move in:1) Many are only interested in getting their commission and moving on2) Many think they are doing everyone a favor by working with a lease client, because they could be making so much more working on sales transactions3) Many complain about screening processes as they only see them as:---Potentially costing them their commission if their client isn't approved or finds something else during the process---Slowing down their commission payment4) NEVER allow an agent to screen a leasing prospect as they have a conflict of interest!

Not to mention the 1600 new apartments that are being built or are in pre construction, can only assume this will keep and/or push down rental prices in the MF market.
