I’m looking to get a condo 2bd/1bath or something similar near rush, Stroger/CC hospital, and UIC (not just looking to attract travel nurses I promise lol).

This might reduce your overall interest costs and allow you to secure a more attractive rate compared to a traditional 20% down payment scenario.Platforms for State → City → Suburb → Street Analysis:For narrowing down markets, here are some platforms I recommend:Zillow and Realtor.com for broad market data, filtering by city/suburb/street.Roofstock for turnkey rental properties with in-depth neighborhood analysis.Mashvisor for detailed real estate analysis, including cash flow and rental estimates.Redfin and NeighborhoodScout for granular street-level data, crime statistics, school ratings, and property value trends.Once you narrow down to the city level, I agree that leveraging local resources—real estate agents, local investor networks, or property managers—will be key to gaining more granular insights on specific neighborhoods and streets.If you’d like, I can also provide you with a sample DSCR terms sheet to further illustrate potential terms.

COVID created a chaotic spike in both the sale & rental markets, attracting even more new real estate investors.

Hi @Matthew Wright,You will probably attract more families / long term renters with duplexes than with one 12 unit building.

Finishes are modern and attractive.

If the tool has merit, then build it for yourself, and it will pay for itself on that basis alone.If it will not pay for itself (& time counts as a cost) when the only customer is yourself, it's probably been done a thousand times, and/or isn't as useful as you think. 

What are some of the most effective marketing strategies used by property managers of multifamily properties 30 units and up to attract tenants? 

I know that I can go in, in either platform, and refund for days as needed without involving the "customer service" people.

Anything that has an attractive price in 32206 or 32209 is either in a D class neighbhorhood and/or a property that needs significant rehab.The further you go from the center of downtown, the more likely the property is in a better class neighborhood.The exception being springfield where it is close to downtown but considered a good neighborhood.

@Shea Spinelli If you PM me, I can send you a sample XL spreadsheet that you can customize that we use to apportion the expenses among the Tenants ..
