IDOT made a lot of improvements to IL-59 between Plainfield and I-55, though downtown Plainfield remains a speed-bump on that highway as does the I-30 junction just south of downtown Plainfield.

As Investors and Real Estate Entrepreneurs I believe its important that we nourish our psychology to remain positive and productive.

Perhaps the universe is steering me toward stocks and the proportionally easier and more diversified investment (meaning, 100% of our assets pretty much are tied up in Charleston real estate at this point).

the bidding starts with an amount that does not tie to any mortgage balance or fraction there ofthe auction is the judicial sales ..plaintiff (bank) is the winning bidder most of the time. sometimes 3rd party bidder wins. this is IL specific.

Although we remain optimistic believing it's all part of the process.

I've been researching options for sometime now, but felt compelled to start a new thread as this is a new RE transaction I have no experience with, and I'm really not certain I want to tie up a good portion of my capital in this deal.Here are the outlines of the deal:I buy property at $120K w/ 20% down; tenant escrows $10K upon my purchase and lease signing with them.Under the option, $200/month of rent will be credited to future tenant down payment.Tenant purchase price is set at $135K.

The remaining 70-90% becomes due upon completion of the project (balloon payment), which is typically 2 to 4 yrs in india.

I started investing in Memphis almost a year ago because I have family ties there.
