Turning a single-family home into a room-by-room rental strategy really paid off, especially in a neighborhood like Portage Park where whole apartments typically rent for less.The demand for month-to-month flexibility is growing, especially in cities like Chicago, where people might need shorter-term housing due to job relocations, school, or other temporary situations.

The only structural changes are opening up the living room to the family room. 

Hello all, I have a prospective tenant for a rent by room strategy, we're in initial stages (he hasn't officially filled out the application to verify his credit score) and he is letting me know he filed bankruptcy in 2020, but his credit score should be above 620. 

I'm sure that's just inexperience and illiteracy in REI leading me to that conclusion and I'm sure there's great deals around me, I'm just not sure how to look for them or go about that - I know I know, "build a network, dial for deals" etc, yeah I can do all that but my gut feeling is that the market is pretty cooked here rn where in other places there's room to grow still.

The elephant in the room, though, is the bias and NAR's monopolization of the industry.

He’s also got the porch full of boxes of things they don’t have room for in their unit.

Which of these options do you think is most suitable, also is there room to negotiate?

Evictions cost about $1100 and then about a month of no rent and about 5 grand in rehab seems to be pretty standard from my experience. 

I'm not allowed to 'disparage' in the court room either?

Appraised Value - Is there room for the home to appraise beyond the current listing price?
