Cicero Landlords Please Share your Experience!

[Dan S.]

I am looking to get a 2-4 unit in Cicero, Please share any experience input you might have on anything below as a Cicero landlord: 

• Demand for units with/without parking 
  • Im looking at a few 4 units with 2 car parking.. who rents a place with no parking? 
  • I know cicero has resident permit parking.. but it seems soooo parked up,
• Avg price for 2 bedrooms - whats been your experience
  • under 800 for no-parking
• • 800 - 900 unrenovated (lenolium floors, radiators, old cabinets, etc, etc) and 
  • 950 for large renovated? 
  • I am averaging what I see on trulia with what I see as actual rents on redfin.com
• Benefit to renovation? I see a lot of renovated places in Cicero. 
  • My units will start off un-renovated, with radiators, maybe just painted
• Is it worthwhile using credit checks?..
• Does demand for rentals vary by area within Cicero, or is everywhere in cicero the same?
• Does Cicero township do regular inspections
• Renting little storefronts
• Do you clear snow for tenants? 

I am planning on getting a 4 unit building and would really appreciate just a few minutes of your time and hearing just a little of your experience. 

I am also looking a little in Little Village and Berwyn, I have a good realtor already

Any advice / experience you have would be welcome!
