@Jay HinrichsF.B.I. and 2 States Examine Ex-Fox News Host’s Real Estate BusinessA former Fox News host whose real estate advisory business left behind a trail of angry customers is under investigation by two states and the F.B.I.Federal agents have begun talking to several customers and associates of the former “Fox and Friends Weekend” host, Clayton Morris, and a onetime business partner, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Have you begun rehabbing, filed for a receiver appointment, begun to foreclose the note etc?

This is prime real estate, and is just about the last piece of land in this area.I have begun to develop a commercial property that I own with contractor garages, which is the extent of my experience in this space.I'm trying to get a sense of how to structure something like this, with using LP's, and also partnering with a builder, and carving something out in that regard.Does anyone have recommendations on who is currently working in this space and could provide some insight?

As properties have begun to be paid off for me, that few hundred a month becomes a rounding error as real wealth and options become available to you. 

I have spoken with so many people who say, "I have my LLC, I'm ready to begin" and I know they could've easily begun their RE investing journey without it.Curious to hear your thoughts.

So theres decent equity, but it’d need about 20-30k in rehab.I really want to hear all your opinions on this transaction.Give it to me straight up, am I being stupid by doing this deal and risking it all, or is this something I can profit from without too much headaches..Money (3k) is already in escrow with an addendum that if foreclosure filings has begun it’s refundable.

Luckily, I did not include this unit in my underwriting when purchasing, so the survival of this property is not contingent on this situation.Continuing to optimize for management of the building when I move out, like moving everyone to online rent payments or adding remote accessible security cameras.Exploring opportunities to expand my portfolio—I've begun my hunt for my next 3 to 4-unit building to house hack, ideally in Lake View, North Center, or Ravenswood.This year taught me that real estate investing isn’t easy, but it’s undoubtedly worth it.

Not 100% sure if they have but I know what the model was when they begun and that middle part.

As a professional property manager, I'm coming across an interesting trend related to institutions providing financial assistance for tenants who have trouble paying their security deposit and I would love to hear feedback from the BP community.Large PM companies have begun partnering with financial institutions, such as Rhino Insurance, to help tenants who struggle with paying their security deposit.
