What is the best advice for someone who would like to get their feet wet in the real estate market over the next 12 months?... Not looking for get rich quick schemes necessarily, but investing in the right foreclosure is tempting... Also since the banks are super hesitant to hand out two mortgages, would anyone recommend being a silent investor if the right opportunity came along?

Aren't there a couple of lots in Park Ridge available at a good price, complete with plans?

Find one market that you are comfortable with and make yourself fully knowledgeable with that market.

Right now, I wouldn't buy fringe or "emerging" areas because there is a very real chance that they will not emerge in the time frame you hope to make a profit.

Rental residential real estate is all the rage right now. It probably is already overpriced. I's look for something undervalued that can be vastly improved with some minor improvements. I'd make the improvements with an eye on either converting to condos when that market improves or getting it fully rented and selling the building then rolling it into another building for tax avoidance.

If it is an emerging city neighborhood, you can pretty much forget it anyway. You are competing against investors with a wheelbarrel of working capital, architects and GC's in tow, who can incur a loss or two for tax purposes along the way. Humboldt Park is one of the fastets-rising property value neighborhoods in the country. The reason is out-of-town investors pissed at missing out on the Logan Square and Bucktown booms are buying up property based on zip codes.

I had a sweet 3 bedroom house w/ an in-ground swimming pool at 26. The guy I sold it to OD'd on heroin in the master bedroom.

Don't buy real estate. If you do, make sure what you can rent it out for is more than your mortgage+tax payments.

This is good advice.

Hold on a second here. Are you saying that JBills should try to make a profit in his real estate investment? Where did this crazy kind of advice come from?
