If it’s not an emergency, when they make their request, we thank them for letting us know, and advise that we’re keeping a list of minor issues and that we’re planning to address these types of things in one trip in the next month or so.

I'm going to run some details by you and I'd like all of you who feel you are qualified to advise me so I can learn how to properly analyze these deals and be more cognizant of potential pitfalls/mistakes:So, I found this property off market in a Chicago real estate investment group.

By end of next year they advise 5.9% based on starting 2025 at 6.2%

Without much experience, I'd advise extreme caution.

Thank you for the advise.

For instance, if you tell me the entire $100K is going to be needed in 2 years to be the down payment on your primary residence", I'm going to advise a different investment type than if you tell me "the money only needs to return me an annualized 8% gain, I don't need the money for at least a decade, and I want zero management or oversight."

That said, I wouldn't advise someone to get into the game if the goal is short term cash flow unless they were super savvy. 

Please advise. 

I would advise you to possibly consider a different PM due to the glaring issues Evolve has...lots of work for the homeowner, property revenue continuing to drop as time goes on, low rating reviews for most areas, and besides marketing for new clients, their marketing on properties is no good.

If you have a property in any of the cities, please advise the property management company you are using and how much fees are they charging monthly?
