To sacrifice a good tenant, which is hard to come by these days in favor of higher rent, may not be the trade-off that you need or possibly want.

Only thing I would add here is to take a birds eye view of the area and try to decide if it will gentrify in your favor so the property appreciates at a higher rate than other areas.

Several district courts have denied requests to enjoin the CTA, ruling in favor of the Department of the Treasury.

Thank you  Using a LOC on your primary residence can work well for flips if the terms are favorable and you’re confident in managing projects efficiently.

I suspect most of what you will learn will not be favorable, but you will be learning.  

We were discussing options for payment as we don’t have a lot of capital at the moment, however they have a property that has a bit of equity we could tap into, but they already have a favorable interest rate.

Which one do you have the most favorable information on based on their past rental history and not what they say.I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

Then the tenant will rant a bunch of nonsense, have no evidence to back up his stories, and the judge will find in your favor based on the evidence provided by you.For future tenants, I highly recommend you read a book like mine or "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

They’re familiar with the towns, businesses, and, in some cases, even the commercial tenants, which can work in your favor.

I truly appreciate it.I completely understand that the economics of owning a multifamily property (like a duplex or triplex) can be much more favorable than a single-family home.
