The investing side of real estate has changed .With house values slowly creeping up ,we need to change our strategies .We have to change our ways of thinking and the way we do our deals.I prefer bank owned homes and preforclosures, due to the abundance of them here in Illinois.We will always have wholesaling lease options,buy and hold and good old wholesaling..oh, and of course commercial.I would like to invest out of state, very popular among my investor friends.I will get to that next.
