I have not used an agent before, and I've heard mixed things about that.My personal strategy has been to make up small business cards or flyers and then have somebody place those in the areas where my tenants are likely to be, such as local grocery stores, laundromats, restaurants, and so on.

Hello, I would like to know the best strategy for someone who earns $23/hr in Illinois.

Thank you in advance for your input! 

Buying pre-construction properties in Latin America to flip within a short period of time is a risky strategy in general but even more so today given the rise in prices over the last few years.Medellin is a great place to invest provided you buy the right kind of property but not because it's still undervalued according to international standards.

It's a strategy where you buy a property below market value, renovate it to increase its value, rent it out for cash flow, refinance to pull out your initial investment, and then repeat the process with another property.

Great strategy that should be highly considered in my humble opinion. 

I'm also curious how you chose your niche and strategy, like Single Family Homes, Multi-Family etc.
