Where is the house? Can you increase the rent? Seems low
Hey Chad, Welcome. We are active in the lake county market, so I would be happy to help. We own and manage just under 200 units so we have made all the mistakes and can help you avoid the same. I have a connection to triathlon as well, having completed the Ironman in Kona and starting/selling a small company called Profile Design. Message me any time. Bill Powers RTO Property

Yes, it is a welcoming group. We are trying to attract more investors that are active and willing to share experience and knowledge, but it is a challenge. Join us tonight the 12th. Hope to see you. Bill

That is a very skinny project. I would look forward with more margin.
Welcome. I look forward to getting down to Sarasota county as well. Good luck down there.
Steve Anderson or Mark Lewis. You can both in BP.

LCPIA is a good no profit group for learning. We have showcase on a flip tomorrow night. Come by and you can attend without $10 donation. Congrats on your property.

With $8K you could get a single family or even multi in Waukegan. I am about to purchase a 2 unit in a good area in Waukegan for $55K. Needs $15K in work and will rent for $1900 a month. And closing on 5 unit for $110K. We own and maintain just under 200 units in lake county - mostly Waukegan. I would be happy to provide you some direction if you like. Message me or come to our REIA meeting this Tuesday at 630PM. LCPIA is non profit eduction group. Waukegan is a great town with lots of opportunity. Good luck. Best Regards, Bill Powers (BP)

Definitely not a rental. Most of our portfolio follows 2% rule or what I call $200 in rent/month for every $10k invested. Unless the property is above 1% and has major appreciate or strategic/development value, I would suggest selling.

Welcome to BP Herbert. If you need a sounding board or would like some advice, please feel free to call. I specialize in Lake County - have done about 200 projects, mostly rentals that I still hold, so lots of knowledge to share. We have local REIA that is a good resource as well. I host a flip showcase once a month that I share details of the latest flip for local investors, Next one is this Wednesday, and our monthly REIA meeting is 2nd Tuesday of the month in Gurnee if you want to join us. Good networking.

Again please call if I can help.
