I own and manage a 3 unit rental property in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago. I'm looking for a company or vendor that can provide basic lawn maintenance and clean up once per month. I've spoken to a few lawn care companies but none of them provide a cleaning service (basic trash and debris that accumulate in the yard over time), just mowing. 

Does anyone here use a service for cleaning and lawn maintenance? Any recommendations?

I am about to close on a three unit building and would love to hear how you all collect rent each month from your tenants. What are the best tools to use? Thanks!

I recently purchased a 3 flat in a South Side neighborhood in Chicago. 2 of the units already have tenants in them, but one is currently vacant and I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a process for finding and properly screening a potential tenant. Looking for processes/tools that are thorough yet cost effective for credit checks, employment verification, etc. Is SmartMove the way to go?

Thanks!
