Here is my system that I have shared on the forums previously:It all starts with online ads, within which are several questions I request be answered in their response to my ad.

@Daniel Showman we've done our last few online, but hope to be back this month!

My family and I are traveling the states in our RV and spend a few months in Wisconsin each year so I should have time to renovate the building but otherwise I will have to manage the property online.

If it's truly a problem, they'll buy the sign - they're sold in hardware stores and dozens of places online and shouldn't cost more than $25. 

Chicago has some of the strictest and over-the-top codes in the country, so it will be much different than other's numbers you get from here or read about online unless they are also in the Chicagoland area.

I started shopping online and what I can find isn't what I really want.

I downloaded a copy online, and its an interesting read.

Alternatively, gather the 100+ private lenders online and on bigger pockets and reach out to every one of them - that there is the hustle.Now, some of them will say No , some- maybe with very high interest rates, lucky enough you may a yes with stipulations and a fair to low interest rate .

We’ve found both the book and the online tools extremely valuable so I’d encourage to look into them!
