And I'll for sure look into that.

I heard lots of scammers also trying to go off the app and then they say now need to evict me which takes 6-8 months in Chicago. 

Times are changing somewhat though, so maybe over time if they are not supportive now, they will be at some point in the future. 

We're looking to gather info about likely cost, pitfalls, time required, considerations when obtaining financing, etc. 

I defer to your expertise here. 

Any help or tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

I am under contract on a property that looks like it will not close.When I got the 3 fireplaces inspected, it was only a few hundred dollars extra to chimney sweep them at the time of inspection so we paid to get them swept. 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I work with mainly buy and hold investors here in Cincinnati.

Looking back, I should have just let them go.
