You may need to spend every cent they offer on moving things out and back in, but that a small price to pay if after this is done you have your property back in the condition it was when you started.

One thing I did note is my insurance is $3K a year lower due to the monitored fire suppression system in these larger properties versus my smaller properties that sleep 12 or less built close to the same time.As someone who has lived in Illinois twice, the politicians there don't care if people burn as long as they can tax and spend.

If I can be any assistance let me know...Thx

I believe the neighborhood has some of the strongest fundamentals in the entire city but its incredibly easy to make the wrong assumptions when investing in Mount Airy if you don't truly know the market and the only way to do this is by spending considerable time in the neighborhood. 

To assist us, we refined our pitch deck and performed some scenario analysis with our financial models.
