Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I’d recommend listening to the straight up Chicago investor podcast for local information, going to the variety of meetups that are in this great city, and meeting a lot of the people posting here. 

What is your recommendation ? 

@Tyler Koller, we use QBO for all of our Clients but I don't recommend it as a PM software (since it's not that).

I would recommend that you analyze the operating side of the business and the capital side of the business separately.On the operating side, you can use AirDNA to predict the potential income which is gross revenue.

I also highly recommend a boutique hotel mastermind.

So, I would only recommend doing it when there are synergies to take advantage of such as the partner having a skill like HVAC, interior design, accounting, etc. 2.

I recommend to everyone. 

@Kishore Siva 100% go into their office and request a meeting to understand where they are in the review process, what questions they have, and outline a path to obtaining a permit.
