**CO and Inspections**: Since there’s no CO or inspection requested right after the sale, the township may not become aware of the new ownership until the buyer initiates action, such as applying for a CO after repairs.In summary, while the deed recording updates ownership at the county level, the township may only update its records when triggered by actions like CO applications, tax data updates, or buyer-initiated notifications.

@Dave Foster points out other structures as well with more control, yet still produce attractive passive income. 

I want some insight on the action items we need to do to know a good amount needed to start.... we are new and want to get in real estate for long term help for our family.

If one person has nothing to gain and one does and has a call-to-action, there is a sale in there.

This comes with time and experience but a book that helped me tremendously (not really a sales book, though) was "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud.The most common challenges for RE Agents early relate to generating leads and focusing on income producing activity.I would consider spending 50-75% of your side-hustle time on income generating activities. 

In San Joaquin County (CA) it's taking up to 2 months for the court to process an initial filing of the UD action (they do notify the tenant of the action). 

I urge any Chicago investor to use this "call to action" to send an opposition email to the mayor and alderman.

Our main issue is that we are getting exhausted with people who say they're cash buyers and can't produce a POF.

If you keep on taking action and learning from it, there's not way but up.

Last year, the city required a bank statement, which was not overly difficult for me to produce; however, this year the city of Chicago required either a homeowners exemption or a state license showing the exact address and unit for the listed AirBnB.
