Not sure how you cashflow with Proper, it’s just not proper. 

I am from California, but lived in Peachtree City, Georgia last year (renting), and currently live in Germany as an Au Pair.

Pair that with going to real estate investor meetups and you will start your journey.

I get the desire to own outside of Chicago proper, but instead of going to another state altogether, why not invest in one of the burbs?

Meant to add 16$ panel pair and 26$ panel pair, so big pop for little money.  

So the goal of DSCR is now to figure out the best real estate cash flowing strategy to pair with DSCR loans as you scale your portfolio. anyone looking for help going DSCR, feel free to reach out as I build my portfolio with these and help investors scale theirs as a lender.

For example, incorporating energy-efficient solutions and smart home technology has been a game-changer in similar markets, especially when paired with features like office spaces that cater to remote workers.As for potential add-ons, corporate housing partnerships are a brilliant suggestion!

These should be reflected in the purchase price or negotiated as part of the terms, such as the seller carrying some of the renovation burden.Use seller financing to your advantage by proposing a price closer to $225,000-$250,000 with terms such as 20% down, a low interest rate (4-5%), or interest-only payments for 3-5 years, with a balloon payment once renovations are complete and cash flow stabilizes.If the seller is firm on price, consider negotiating higher down payment terms to reduce the financed amount, paired with interest-only terms or a price reduction tied to renovation milestones.Key questions to address include the condition of the septic system, which can be a significant expense if it fails.

The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

This will also help them last longer together as a pair in each unit.
