Specifically from the Caged AC Unit into the attic (concrete slab so no crawl space).I was thinking of just building a tall vertical box to place this into.  

deep clean, moisture barrier in crawl space, maintenance to HVAC What was the outcome?

Obviously the end goal is to build my own real estate portfolio, but gotta learn to walk before running and crawling before walking.

The problem is the foundation is sinking, the outdated polybutylene pipe is leaking in the crawl space and the electrical is outdated.

Lot of the issue stems from pillars / blocks that sit on top of the soil in the crawl.

The house was on a crawl space, which will become important later. 

I have heard that the sweet spot is a 4 bed 2 bath section 8 in Memphis.

Being clear about what you want to do from the start not only helps you stay on track, but it also makes it easier to spot problems or delays before they happen.I totally agree that talking to people is important.

I know a lot of Chicago investors are here too; but if you were in my spot would you recommend Chicago as prices are too high and I have never been to the city moving next year.

But once the payments start rolling in like clock work you forget about the initial crawl.  4.
