Ask me how I know =)I hope that helps - we actually are rooting for you.

Sorry for my Saturday night soap box; I'm not sure if it answered your question.  

Someone took the little basket that holds soap and shampoo and the sign on the back of the toilet and placed them waaay in the back of the bathroom cabinet.Someone removed the tiny little LED lights I have on this 8 foot tall fake ficus in the kids bunk room and put in on the deck.

If you're worried about hurting your friend's feelings, offer to have him refer you out to another agent and he'll get 25% of that commission.Anyway, enough of my pessimistic soap box. 

I do have a warehouse and tend to over supply some things I know will need eventually, like TP paper towels, kleenex, shampoo, laundry soap, etc.

For example, I try to rent to families and try for longer durations with renters that will take care of the place and also might put down roots with kids in school etc.Check crime stats, schools, population trends, big job suppliers, colleges, hospitals.

Brown's assumption of this role is one of the root causes of her statement that it "could not be done in a few hours per week".

Hey @Jake Wosick - You should definitely connect with @Zach Shepard above, he's been a great mentor for me and knows the off-market chicago space better than most.In my opinion, the key to off-market deals is understanding the ROOT issue with the seller. 

They expressed deep rooted reasons as to why that was and I’ll try to address those shortly.

Have soap and towel, face masks , you dont know how the tenant lives .
