If risks feel too high, consider waiting until your live-in flip is complete and your position is stronger.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

No hidden fees.3) Proactive maintenance—Getting ahead of the problem is so important to save time and money for ourselves, the clients, and the residents.

Sewer issues in Chicago are very common which is why I ALWAYS recommend / almost require my clients to get them done + if there's trees in front or in the back of a property, there will almost always be plumbing issues + needed rodding.
