I know that South Bend is a bit outside of the Chicago area and there may be a better forum for this, but hasn’t anyone explored this area?

With this, I have explored the idea of using a turnkey company that would also take care of rehab and finding tenants.

If you'd like to explore this part of Kitsap (MUCH more affordable than the Seattle side!)

All of us want to be explorers or adventures at some level and real estate is alluring but strip the emotion from it as best you can and do what makes SENSE to you based on what you know of yourself, your abilities and the advise you get here.In my part of the country, multi-fams tend to be in certain areas. 

Then do a deep dive on those properties to explore those specific areas and the rents those assets command.  

 Jerel Ehlert, can I message you one one to explore the possibility of you providing me some on this topic?

  #2 Explore Lowes and Home Depot to Learn About Material PricingTake a tour through Lowes and Home Depot (or their websites) and look at finishes materials and fixtures that you will consider using in your rehab projects.

@Shane Connor thank you, I will add Advanta to my bookmarks and explore.

I fully intend to buy more properties, and I think that I need to start exploring either a refi, helix, home equity loan, etc to buy something else.
