Hey everyone,I am going to start a flip project that would involve a massive renovation, that would include increasing sqft with a second story.I started to work with a new GC that I met few years back, he helped me on a small stuff in a prior expansion project.

Theoretically, I could still have a chance at the property. 

Hi everyone,For landlords in Cook County, Illinois who rent to Section 8 (HACC Housing Choice Voucher) tenants:If I already have a tenant in place, am I allowed to increase the rent to the current Fair Market Rent according to the Housing Authority of Cook County?

You’re really limiting your chances of a faceplant. 

Cash flow pays bills, and appreciation grows wealth.If your goal is long-term financial independence, then you need a rental income that increases faster than inflation and will last throughout your lifetime.

Buying with private money and increasing the value by rehabbing and renting the property then BRRRR does a few things.  

Quote from @Yousef Hossam: After seeing how people work their pipelines, I realized something surprising:Many deals are lost after the seller already showed interest.Not from lack of leads, but from:Late repliesMissed follow-upsNotes scattered across toolsNo defined lead stagesNo accountability on daily pipeline actionsThe person who consistently close more usually have:One place where every conversation is loggedClear stages (New → Contacted → Follow-Up → Appointment → Contract)Automated or scheduled remindersA daily or weekly pipeline reviewNext steps always set before ending the callNothing fancy, just fundamentals done well.In many cases, tightening follow-up converts more deals without increasing marketing spend.Are you currently managing follow-up and pipeline visibility in your business?

Unless your rental income increases faster than inflation, you will not have the needed dollars to pay inflated prices.For example, suppose you invest in a city where the average rental income increases by 2% per year and inflation averages 5% a year over the next 30 years, which is your anticipated retirement period.

A yearly rent increase is written into the Lease Option, so the amount I get increases each yearf.

By any chance do you still have access to this group?
