Crazy Cheap Properties

OK, I have hooked up with a guy that buys properties in bulk all across the US and he has asked me for help in Chicago. These 2 properties are only for the seasoned investor since they need extensive work. However, if you are a brave soul, life rewards risk takers, I can walk you through the entire process from purchase to rehab to rental. I am happy to lend my expertise and my subcontractors to people who are serious about building long term wealth.

8505 S Morgan -Under Contract

OK, I can't seem to keep the inventory in stock. Another property just went under contract and it just finished being rehabbed. I guess I can't be surprised since the property will throw off a positive cash flow. The investor is placing a rent to own tenant in the property and will make a 6% guaranteed rate of return per year with an option for the tenant to buy after 2 years, with a 30k payday! Also they are collecting an upfront option contract fee of 3k from the renter/buyer.

6742 W 91st St-Oak Lawn

Please check out the video at the right-Virtual Tour of the property

Step Ranch built in 1974, currently still looks like 1974 inside but very clean, if you are unsure of how to rehab or remodel I can take care of that for you, I have subcontractors already in place ;).

This is a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath home in one of the best parts of Oak Lawn. Brand New Home next door is selling for 450k+.

Asking Price $180,000 Appraised Value $250k after repairs
Remodel +25k so a remodeled sales price is 205k or "as is" 180k

205k x 7% = $14,350 per year in carrying cost + $4,650 for taxes and misc = $18,000

Should be able to easily rent for $1,500-$1,800 thus covering its own expenses and then sell in 1-2 years and make a healthy profit.

No War Zones-No Slums

Working class neighborhoods are the key to success. You want homes to rent to the working class mass, your bus drivers and mailmen need a place to live too! They want to live in a descent neighborhood and are willing to pay a good rent. These are your tickets to success!

Financially Independent in Less Than 7 years

Rent To Own:

The first step is to do something. You can not wait for everything to be "right". There will always be obstacles and reasons not to invest. It will never be just right and you will make mistakes, the important part is to get started and learn as you grow.

Home One $150,000 Home purchase at 85% of value and put 10% Down or $12,750=$114,750 Mortgage
This should run you about 10k-12k per year in mortgage, taxes, vacancies and misc.

Make sure the home can rent for at least$1,200-$1,500 per month.

Also get at least $3,000 as an up front option downpayment on each home and have a monthly positive cash flow of at least $200. This is easily accomplished because the tenant/buyer has a vested interest in buying the home. You can charge top of the market rents and then use a portion of the money for the down payment option. Make it so attractive that the tenants would not want to walk away from the credit to use toward the downpayment. If they do not buy you get to keep the option money.

Rent to Own the home on a 24 month option. Increase the sale price of the property by 3% yearly (inflation) to resell that property at $159,135

Gross Profit of $31,635 + $3,000 option + monthly positive cash flow


Reinvest the profit, through a tax deferred 1031 exchange, into 2-3 other properties and repeat.

What’s keeping people from investing in residential real estate? Based on a recent investor survey, the main reasons are: securing financing for rental properties; finding the time to invest; fear or lack of knowledge; and locating good deals.
