I don't like the lack of diversity on printing checks from multiple accounts, pay employees or issue 1099/W2s.

Chicago is such a diverse city.

Our backgrounds and situations are very diverse but there may be similarities and/or experiences to learn from.

Just about creating the culture and attracting the right members/tenants.

Generally because the culture here is pretty anti-guru but also generally because most of these programs deserve that skepticism.

One of the biggest factors is its diversity in economics and population growth.One of my biggest fears is that Trump might screw that up by putting fear into the immigrants that make our economy better.  

I miss the culture of New York City (plays, concerts, shows) but you can't beat the cost of living and weather down here. lol

Many tenants will offer to pay large sums up front as a diversion.

In a smaller park where ownership is not on site, a community manager usually also needs sales skills to sell homes as well as the other responsibilities.Good managers are difficult to find in part because typically they are not very well compensated, and in part because they often need very diverse sets of skills and abilities.

I would only install stone (granite, cultured, or otherwise) in a higher-end rental or if I found usable seconds at an extraordinary price)As for layout, what is on the wall to the left of the photo?
