Are there wholesalers in your market you can ask if you don't want to talk to a lawyer for some reason?

What are market rents?

Use a quitclaim or warranty deed to transfer the title, and be prepared to pay Chicago’s transfer tax, calculated at $7.50 per $1,000 of the property’s fair market value.

Start by getting familiar with your local market.

I'm thinking apartments.com for marketing, leasing and maintenance requests.

I would look for an experienced agent of my own who understands what is standard for your market.

We’ve tried other platforms on the market, but the message delivery rates were very low compared to the 85%+ I get here.

I am proficient in investing and confident in earning 7-10% returns in the market over the next decade or two.

You rarely will get both (at least not right now in this current market).If you want to explore different opportunities within various areas of the Valley, get a seasoned investor-friendly Realtor who is competent. 

However, I'm having difficulty narrowing down a few markets, such as Tampa or Kissimmee/Orlando.
