Congrats! I looked at that house earlier this year. I have a house down the road near St. Pats. Would love to see what you do with the place.
Good luck!

A 2500sqft house on the east side could be 80k while a 2500sqft house on Joliet's far west side could be 200k+ thus you're closing cost could vary greatly.

@Wendell De Guzman , I finally got caught up with this post. Your business is very encouraging for someone who is just a small fish in the ocean called real estate investing. As I read more about your success I get more excited about finding my 2nd deal and further building my mini real estate "empire".

@Account Closed Have you tried mentioning to the potential tenants that had already viewed the units that the rent is negotiable?

There are some good parts of Joliet and some not so good parts just like any other city. If you are looking for more stable tenants/nicer part of town, I'd look towards the west side.
