The intent of my original post was to provide a factual, comprehensive review of your services and investment recommendation based on your extensive due diligence.

Quote from @Brooke Morton: Does anyone have recommendations for condo/HOA insurance?

Typically I recommend that people get very clear on your vision for not only what you want to do but the exact markets you want to do projects in and narrow your focus to those.

Will keep everyone updated - I may be looking for a new insurance broker, if anyone has any recommendations or referrals please let me know.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I recommend starting with some BP podcasts and starting to figure out what your skills, interest and capital align with.

If not, it's highly recommended that you do.

If you’re looking for any recommendations, happy to share insights!

I would recommend that regardless of market you decide to invest in that you find a fellow investor/realtor that can help you purchase in the neighborhoods that make for ideal long term rentals.

Does anyone have recommendations for good, reasonably priced countertop installers/fabricators who do work in the north/northwest suburbs of Chicago, specifically around Prospect Heights?
