Post: What are the benefits of obtaining your RE license?

sometimes your license can be a burden in investing.  For instance you need the listing agent in competing situations to be you ally.  two offers same price or close to the same price. Let's say one is a buyer that he's been working with for quite some time and the other is you wanting to buy the deal and take 50% of the commission. Let's say you get that deal. As an investor you want to close that deal and be the first person in the world that agent calls when he or someone in his office lists a similar deal. Hard to get a Birddog to hunt in that situation. He'll be reluctant to tell you about hot deals where he/she isn't the listing agent will call you after he's been rejected by buyers that aren't after a paycheck when he is the agent. Besides as an investor you make 100 to and agents pennies.  Access to the mls is a positive. Access to off market deals is better. You can get that agent to set you up to get automatic alerts as new listings come available in your strike zone now without a license

nY and souther Cal are two of the toughest markets to purchase for cash flow. It's a ton of competition. We recently sold a 4 unit in neighboring Orange County for 2.4MM. I'd consider investing perhaps in another product type maybe in another market for cash flow. For instance you could by a retail center or single tenant deal like a autozone, or dollar tree in another market make a decent cash flow with very little if any landlord responsibility.

Not a bad looking condo and in a decent location. Have you attended the meetup said at Dinos pizza? You may be able to pitch the deal at the shark tank there other meet ups listed in BP have them also. Have you consider reducing the price? The main reason for lack of activity is often a high price. What are other condos in that building in the market for. What were the last 5 sales in your building. Where those Inestor prices or owner occupied prices? I think you're at 99K saying 90K is a 7 cap. You looking for an investor must be priced with some meat on the bone... Can you reduce it any

I'd recommend taking a look at going to the Chicago Investor Summit this weekend. You may find a lender or a partner.

Victor Olowu I specialize in multi family investments on the south side of Chicago. you're going to move in as owner occupant the most walkable location would probably be Hyde park and north east WOODLAWN. Also occupancy levels are high and you get the highest year over year rent growth. Other areas to consider would be North Kenwood and the Gap. There are parts of other areas that are okay however, as you know investing on the south side can be tricky as cap rates and other investments indicators can change in a block by block basis.
Hi thanks for all of you that signed up for the Chicago Multi family Summit. There are no more $5 tickets left however, there are some $10 tickets available.
