I'm 44, a licensed barber, and own the first house I ever bought outright.

Stay away from their tax prep too its so much money every month just to basically to your own taxes.

I own an event venue and would like to connect with other event owners and aspiring event owners.

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

The landlord-tenant attorney that I work with generally recommends using those forms rather than writing my own.

I can't move this property to an LLC as the condo docs refrain owners from owning in LLC. 

You don’t have to figure that out on your own.

I get the desire to own outside of Chicago proper, but instead of going to another state altogether, why not invest in one of the burbs?

With $150k here you’re just a little tight on budget but can make it happen if you self-manage and do your own furnishing and design.  

How did it feel walking into that closing room, knowing you were about to own your first investment property?
