My husband was in the restaurant business until he became very ill and it went belly up 3 years ago.

I've been investing for about 5 years - mainly in DeKalb, Ill on the NIU campus (see profile).

I really want to give back to my wife who gave so much to me while I was ill.

Ill check with some of these other local brokers

So, Ill hire carpenters and "buy my time back".I'm a former HVAC guy - I can solder pipes, hard and soft solder, but no good at sheet metal.

then, ill have an available 50k to pay cash for a rental at prime rate versus paying higher interest with a 30 yr fixed. 

Please reach out to me. ill pm you my email id

Once i get them ill have an ideal of what i can sell this house for.

, I've called over 40 people in these FSBO magazines.Only 4 where interested.But first one was a fliper,and he was asking way too much,and told him ill call him a month to do a L/O.Second one changed his mind and rather rent the property himself.The other two I havent got ahold of yet.I'm also in the process of getting a Real estate license within a week or so.I joined this REI club,told me if I want to purchase a property as a rental is I have to write a business plan,get a license,and get credit.Which Im in the process of doing.I'll tell you the situation I'm in,I am 19 yrs old,I have no credit and all I have is 5k.I keep requesting several times to get credit,but getting denied every time.I made additonal money from selling models on ebay.

I would love to heat  about different things that are working for you and ill do you the same courtesy.
