@Dolores GonzalezHey DoloresThere are a lot of factors, but one of the most pressing is tenant rights laws in Illinois vs Indiana. 

Hey @Noah Sopher, I think you are going to be very hard pressed to find comparable as this is not likely conventionally lendable.

Hi - it's time to for me to shift from accidental investor to "real on purpose" investor LOL.

You don't need the risk, and it's a common courtesy.In addition to a fridge and microwave--which you 100% need if there's no kitchen--consider some additional cooking solutions like an air fryer, crockpot, hot plate, panini press, etc.

I just pressed reply on my phone and went with it.

Even with a PM, they don't inspect like an owner would, but many accidental landlords don't know that so think the home is being cared for like they would if they still lived there.  

Accidentally double posted.

@Mooko King It sounds like you are an accidental landlord today.

Thanks for the link @Chris T. the 3 times income to rent rate and clean credit score may help... i think more so in the more expensive markets, but in lower income housing... i think you'll be hard pressed to find an applicant with clean credit or income that can back your justification on denying the ex-con..?  

They won't let you do anything accidentally illegal.
