I think Chicago has a lot of houses in the surrounding neighborhoods of downtown that are up-down duplex, so a building can be 4 stories high with each unit having 2 stories.

Then once you build up a general knowledge base and understand your exact strategy and the inventory available in your market then you can ask more specific questions to help you along the way.

But I want to cash flow more somehow in thousands  not sure on your capital funding for Miami but if you have the capital and backing I'd look at development for STR towers in the 50-100 unit range. you can get lots around 1.2 million that you can go 12 stories on with structured parking in Wynwood right now that you can build a 15 million dollar asset worth 30 million. you can do the condo exit or hold it as apartments and permit short term rentals. there are some great articles about short term rental occupancy. miami has 22 renters for every 1 available apartment and has the #1 net migrations in the state of florida for cities and florida is the #1 net migration state. it is land locked and developer friendly. it's under built.

We recently purchased an apartment building on Oahu.  

Depending on your goals you may want to consider purchasing another property here and building up on what you have already started.Some things to note...an $800,000 property and a $100,000 property roof replacement will cost approximately the same 10-15k range...in a market where historic appreciation (not just the 5-10 years) is little to none, spending 15% of a properties value to replace a roof which doesn't add any value takes away many years of future cashflow.

I would love to connect with other investors in the Albuquerque, NM area that would enjoy meeting up from time to time to talk real estate and build off each other.

Hi Stephen...Welcome to BP and the incredible wealth-building world of real estate investing.

Once the results are in, you will upload them to:https://leadcertification.phila.gov/loginIf your property is built after 1978 and you are getting kickback:Sometimes the Phila records are incorrect and they show wrong build dates.

Since the project is self-funded, both by choice and necessity, the ideal time frame for the whole process (locating the property, inspecting and buying it, renovating it and selling it) would be 6 months, give or take a month.

As you build your capital then you can start looking at multiple deals at once, but use it now on one deal, refinance and pay it off and have it ready for the next.
