Owning residential properties has been one of the greatest sources of building individual wealth in the United State. Our property laws and capital availabity make real estate ownership and nvestment one of the best sources of wealth along with owning your own business. It might not seem like it today with all of the foreclosures and short sales However, programs like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act $8,000 first time buyer program and mortgage loan modifcations are making home ownership popular again. As a matter of fact, the rising number of foreclosures (reo or bank owned properties) from FDIC, Freddie Mae, Ginnie Mae, FHA and banks like Bank of America, Chase, Citibank (Citimortgage), GMAC mortgage, HSBC, and PNC Bank are making it possible for real estate investors to buy homes and commercial properties at greatly reduced prices below market value. Mortgage interest rates are at all time lows and falling home prices are also resulting in lower property assessments and increased house affordability.
Whether you want to buy a home that is new or pre-exisitng, attend an auction and buy a foreclosed property, find a commercial property to lease, land to cultivate or lease, a distressed property to rehab and sell or lease, you will find TransferToChicago.com has tools to search for properties and other valauble links.

Commercial and Investment Properties - Are you thinking about taking the plunge into investment property or do you already have commercial or multi-family residential already? Do you understand the concepts of return on equity (ROE) and how increasing value over time leads to lower ROE? There are strategies including the use of 1031 Exchange, also known as a Starker exchange which can allow you to defer taxes on gains from properties you are considering selling and thereby deploy your equity gains to leverage your investment to bigger and bigger properties even leading to institutional grade properties such as office buildings, strip plazas, sotrage facilities, industrial buildings and more. I can assist you with the analysis and strategy for investment properties. MBA - University of Toronto, BBA - Finance and BBA Marketing - University of Cincinnati.
