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.


Let me put my expertise to work for you! If you would like more info please email me, I can only take on 4 investors for the upcoming months so do not delay.

Check out the Videos

I have posted videos of the investment properties that I am currently selling, if you would like to earn a passive income of $200 - $400 positive cash flow per month let me know. If you want the money but don't want the hassle of becoming a landlord then we can do it for you, we can handle all of your property management needs to make any of these truly passive investments.

Wealth building and Cashflow opportunities for 2009

I started this blog to help others capitalize on the incredible potential to build wealth due to the correction in the Real Estate Market. I have been a professional Real Estate Investor for over 10 years and have bought and sold 70 properties. While I have been able to make a good living I have never been as excited as I am now!

There is an incredible opportunity to build long term wealth and a healthy monthly income through investing in real estate. While I have sold every property I have bought I am now changing strategies and starting to amass a rental portfolio of quality buy and hold cash flowing investments. You may ask why I am switching tactics, quite simply it is because...

* Prices have never been lower
* Mortgage Rates have never been lower
* Huge demand for quality rental properties by renters and credit injured people
* I now have the knowledge of where to buy that is affordable yet stable and safe
* Due to the correction properties now can pay for themselves and even provide cashflow

Most people have a reluctance to invest in real estate due to 4 reasons...

* They don't know how to find good investment properties
* They don't know how to get a home into "Rental Ready" condition
* They do not want the hassle of being a landlord
* They do not have the "extra" money for the downpayment

I can put my expertise to work for you! All of the aforementioned are obstacles that I have had to overcome. Why not learn from my experience? Or team up with me and have a truly passive income?

I have spent the last 4+ years locating, buying, rehabbing and selling distressed properties- full time. On average I receive 100+ leads a month and see 60 properties. I only buy properties at a wholesale price so most sellers do not accept my "discounted" offer, however, I routinely buy between 1-2 houses per month. I have a multitude of stories that run the gamut from hilarious to scary and sometimes very sad, often times I also deal with distressed homeowners not just distressed properties.

This has prepared me to immediately spot the properties that provide the best investment and cash flow opportunities!

Do you think it is time you did something proactive to provide for your future? Are you disillusioned with the recent stock market meltdown? Are you tired of contributing money into a 401k or into a brokers hands and not having any idea what your return on investment will be? If you want to truly find a partner that will help your wealth grow then please contact me and I will show you how to invest your assets and make your wealth grow in a "Real" investment. I can guarantee at least a 10%-12% return on your investment in the first year.

Also did you know that rental homes let you depreciate a portion of their value on your yearly taxes?

Why wouldn't you want an asset that...
* Provides monthly income
* Someone else (renters) pay down the original mortgage
* Is an appreciating asset and will be worth more in several years then it is now

If this interests you please feel free to contact me, I ask that people have a minimum of 25k in cash to invest. (Don't worry I can show you how to get that money back within 1 week of buying a property-legally). I can only work with a select few investors at a time but if you have questions or comments please feel free to post or contact me.

Remember the first step to financial independence is doing something, don't let another year pass you buy without providing for you and your families' future.
