Luckily this was a super cheap property so I could afford the additional down payment.

If they do then it is an easy negotiation.

They do everything for you (payments, taxes, insurance coverage) - the website and app are easy and functional and you can vet your guests!

In another year or two that buyer is going to be sitting on 500k in equity easy......

I would have been easy for you to find out about the information I got.I don't like to make anybody unhappy, especially unnecessarily so the easy way out would have been to spare my time and not post.

I am not sure there is an easy way to identify attorneys who have experience with note transactions without simply asking them.

Not easy, especially given where you're investing and, if you can't do that, love money might be the solution.

Once you get through move in, the day to day management is pretty hands off and easy (famous last words, but so far, so good).Other than that, get a second opinion/eye from someone you trust - preferably a professional designer - on the furnishings and design.

Switching property managers seems like it was a smart move, especially with how much you and your wife had to step in before.Chicago definitely isn’t an easy market, but it sounds like you’re set up for better success moving forward.

I mean, I hope you're right but I'm curious how it could be that easy?
