Can I do it as an investment property first and move into it at a later date?     

I put supplies on the job site.

Keep track of every property--the address, purchase price/date, sale price/date, profit, rent at purchase, rent at sale, cost to renovate, take before and after pictures. 

You don't know for sure exactly what their occupancy rates are but you can certainly get a feel for it by seeing what future dates are open.

If it has significantly deteriorated, accelerate her move out date.

I wanted to begin the eviction process ASAP but don't want to wait a month for a court date and find out that it was done incorrectly. thanks for any input

Now the house has been sitting vacant for over one month despite PM putting it on zillow and other sites.

The least states:"Tenant shall pay a "late charge" not in excess of five (5%) percent of the amount in arrears for each month the arrears remain unpaid if any Rent is paid more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments.

This form is included with the Illinois Eviction Notice on this site, and will be necessary if you have to file a Complaint against a Tenant for Eviction (next step).Filing the Complaint If after receiving the Notice of Eviction the Tenant has not paid the rent or cured the lease violation (if they have that option), then the landlord must sue the Tenant for eviction by filing a Complaint with the County Clerk's Office in the County where the property sits.

It's difficult to have a site with the functionality of BP that works the same on an app; a lot of designers are moving towards phone-optimizing language that essentially gives you the website on your phone without you having to pinch or drag to make the view make sense.
