E big ticket items).

Two things, the first is a protect you down the line from them saying the home was not habitable and secondly, every time they ask, I would just keep referring back to my prior email and use that as a response

Referals are always great, you could provide current tenants a discount for anyone they get to sign.

@Michael CliffordRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I had a similar issue as a buyer's agent and I had to go back and forth with the builder multiple times and even back up the closing date because there were a few items to take care of, have your agent represent you on that. 

Another item is, my logic at purchasing this property was to spend less than what I am paying for my current living expenses and it is about there.

That's why I was leaning to foreclosures so I can do full cash (heloc) purchase.The other part I need to get more fluent in is how to document all of those action items in the LLC to keep the corporate veil. 

For future reference, try using Door Depot or Magnolia Windows and Doors; both are great Chicago vendors that we have used in the past.

i’m referring to multiple bedrooms for student housing in the scenario.
