Your problem with that property is neighborhood, not size--- that's right around the corner from Joy Park Homes.

Any time spent on your properties will provide you with invaluable experience and understanding of the asset you own.As you scale, you will hire more and more work out but until then don't be afraid to get into your investments.The picture below was a long day managing a community park we are building in one of my mobile home park communities. $50,000 job done for less than $10,000.

I have a 3 flat in Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL that I am planning to list for sale in the next 3-6 months.Currently owner occupied in 1 unit (Duplex up, 3 bed 3 bath).The other 2 units (2 bed 1 bath each) are rented.I am wondering if it is more attractive to buyers to leave the 3 bed 3 bath unit vacant when I move out, or should I place a tenant in there and then list for sale?

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING A GC WALK the property with you...if the thought is even crossing your mind then the answer is yes.Up here in Chicago we charge a fee of $197 to walk properties a provide a page report with ball park estimation.With contractors especially you get what you pay for, so find SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR TIME IS WORTH SOMETHING! 

I have been doing a lot of research into where we might buy another STR and was looking at Big Bear Lakes, CA because it is very close to a downhill MTB park and my kids race DH and have always wanted to get a place close so we can go spend a few weeks there whenever we want. 

The title company that is located in the building were the foreclosures are held ( they are actually held in the parking lot of said building.)

I imagine this trend is due to close proximity to 3 national parks.

The HOA emails about break-ins frequently, despite a secure parking garage and enhanced security.

Instead, just last year, at the age of 38 and with a wife and kid, I househacked a duplex in Hancock Park.
