@Mindel Keller Please connect with me @ 8582055900. I need just one ticket.

Hello BP family,

I am looking for a single ticket. I am based in San Diego. Please DM me @ 8582055900.

One option is to ask for credit from the seller that could offset a bit by increasing the sale price and hopefully the property will appraise. In Austin, it should.

I dont know Bryan but I can vouch for @Mark Ainley. His knowledge about the chicago market is second to none. He is extremely generous with his time, and his advice has been spot on for my needs.

@Joyce Williams Thanks for the info.

I am getting a little confused about the payroll protection form. I have a few rentals under my llc and some under my name and I d like to get  the loan to have capital for a few months in the event tenants dont pay. I dont have much of a payroll and there is no real estate customized form in the SBA? How would investors justify needing working capital (if tenants stop paying for months)? Would appreciate any ideas, suggestions on this. Thanks, Vish

@Ron Trinh My suggestion would be to rent for six months in CO Springs and then buy. Yes there might be lenders who would still give you a loan but it will limit your choices.

@Weston Harding is the man. His knowledge, integrity, experience and guidance are invaluable for both beginning and experienced investors. -- Vish 

Motivated seller and the owner is retiring.

The property located at 3615 N Lockwood is a very well maintained 8 +1 unit apartment building

in the Portage Park neighborhood. This turn-key building offers some of the nicest units

in the neighborhood.

Overall great units with large bedrooms and common areas. With the rapid increase in

popularity of Logan Square many renters are being pushed west into neighborhoods like Portage Park.

Due to tight inventory, there aren't many opportunities like this to acquire buildings in this buttoned

up condition. This is a great opportunity to acquire high quality units in a rapidly gentrifying

neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago.

There are three levels of value add possibilities. 

1. Rents are @ 60% of market rent as the tenants are long term. Buyer can come in update kitchen and bathrooms and with new paint can potentially increase rents to $1350-1400 for 2 bedrooms.

2. Buyer can convert existing one bedrooms into two bedrooms with minimal expenditure and also put in an additional non-conforming unit in the basement.

3. Potential condo conversion possibilities (Buyer to verify)

Unit Mix:

4 - 2 bed/1bath

4 - 1 bed/1bath

1 garden 2bed/1bath

Potential of 1 or 2 more garden units to put in, or duplex down 1st fl units.

3 coin laundry washers and 3 dryers, $2 wash, $1 dry

@Mark Ainley Thank you for these very useful tips. Are there any other subsidies you can point me to? We are working with one local catholic charity, would love to have more options.
