Your lender should've asked about this up front - but you also bear the responsibility for not vetting your banker well enough up front.

I have focused my attention on the Chicago area since this is where I desire to start my career.

Those from outside the region may not realize, but for the last 10 years many high paying O&G jobs are/were ‘mobile’ jobs, meaning where you worked had 0 bearing on where you could live or where you chose to live.  

You can end this agreement at anytime - it's more a gesture of good faith.In reality no agent will try to recover a commission from you as it's terrible publicity but it's something to bear in mind.Now if you use 2 agents and one specializes in multi-family/commercial and the other specializes in SFHs then that's a different story.

I was in a similar boat as you on a flip in Chicago I had under contract, but I decided to let the deal die and get out once I found out the contractors I planned to use were shady and I didn’t know the market well enough.

Purchase price: $285,000 Cash invested: $31,000 Sale price: $400,000 We purchased this condo back when we were still living in Chicago.

I’m interested in buying rental properties in Chicago, perhaps a studio or a one bedroom.

Hi guys, newbie getting ready to do a 203k reno loan in Chicago.

Hello, I recently stumbled upon BP and looking to connect with other investors/realtors/partners/colleagues in the Chicago area.

Only a 15-minute drive to Starbucks, Walmart, Target, and Albertsons. 50 minutes to Joshua Tree, 50 minutes to Big Bear.
