Hey William, I am an agent and investor in the area and I host Happy Hour events with my partner @Gaetano Ciambriello in the city.

change in ownership is not a taxable event in the event of a divorce.

In that event you pay tax on the difference. 

Make your expectations clear and simple.Two clauses I really like after having issues with couples breaking up or singles disappearing:In the event that Tenants decide they no longer want to live together, ___________ will be considered the primary Tenant to make decisions about modifying or terminating tenancy.

Knowing the market usually involves going out there, understanding what people like, meeting with people, running or attending networking events, among other things. 

With various data sources to back me up, many say Chicago could gain even more climate-migrants and the likes from each west/east coast who're facing extreme weather events at unprecedented rates (I lost my home in 2007 in San Diego due to a wildfire, and know many others like me).

In any event, if this was a foreclosure auction, the lien from the bank should be gone after the auction UNLESS the auction wasn't run correctly and the lender was not notified or some other flaw in their process.

Make sure that you set aside some money for unforeseen events like sub-floors, rotten pipes etc... 

And it seems that all the BPOs I see are on commercial property where comps are VERY DIFFICULT, properties like marinas, event centers, rural warehouses, etc.  

What we have found is that large occupancy events are typically planned months in advance.
