Illinois Investor(Notes ,Structured Settlements, Etc.)
I am a new investor in this field. I am looking for leads in the Illinois area as I am not interested in hiring out of of state attorneys. Any suggestions would be welcome.
If you don't know where to start. You will have to decide on what you are looking to get out of Real Estate Investing. You can go to www.FORCLOSURES.COM that is where I buy 95% of my properties. But all properties on this site need fixed up. If you have the ability to do this it is the best way to start. I usually buy two at a time if sfr, or one if multi unit. This way I can fix up both sfr at once and sell one, rent one. The price you can get for them are unbelievable. I bought 2 sfr's last year and one 3 unit for $71,000.00. I sold the one sfr for $82,500.00. I put about $22,000.00 into them. I have the sfr and 3 Unit rented and I am waiting for two more to close next Monday. I also am a member of a real estate investor's club in the pgh area. This also helps me network with other investors and the seminars help me not make the mistakes others did. That is where I got this website from. lori
