I look forward to the read and thank you for putting it together.  And nice website - great marketing idea!

If you want a reliable plumber, I cannot recommend my newly found plumber Jaime enough.  I've worked with him a few times now and he owns the plumbing company "Above & Beyond".  His website/email is abovebeyondsewerdrains.com/[email protected].  If you decide to reach out, please tell him Lee referred you!

What are you looking to do/achieve?

That link didn't work for me @Ashwin Abichandani

I'm in Southshore, own a 2 unit, and just got a pre-approval letter.  Send me a message if you're interested in discussing a joint venture project.

I sure am glad I ran across this forum, haha.  Thank you everyone for your feedback!

I actually went to highschool in Chicago Heights but haven't thought of investing there.  Not to say that it's a bad place to invest, but I'm not sure I would.  If you need eyes/legs in the area, inbox me.  Where I just bought my 2 unit isn't too far from there.

Where's your property located?

I went to the Owner Symposium last Thursday and it was advised to email them, not call them.  Have you visited "https://www.thecha.org/contact" to find these numbers?

I closed on a 2 family in the Avondale Park area on Feb 27th. They were asking 350 and it was on the market off/on for a bit, but I used a VA home loan and bought it for 295 (they accepted 285, but my lender and REA helped me strategize putting the price at 295) and the seller even offered some money toward closing. It's totally doable and the neighbourhood seems nice so far. Do you have at least $10k in savings and have you thought about using FHA to start?
