I would also request a VERY detailed background history of the dogs - most people who are trying to "beat the system" don't go the whole 9 yards of building a credible vaccine / vet check ups report.

All other things you mentioned are very important as well as the market/sub-market we are in, demographics, vacancy rates, city/county governance, etc. 

We can do good quality we can do maintenance grade as well, one of our major sectors is government facility maintenance.

Do you have any credible evidence that your fantasy thoughts have any bearing in the real world???

When you can quit or pay is governed by the state and by your lease.

In my opinion, they are more reflective of a southern Cook County 'municipality' than a western one, and suffer the same bloated and useless governments as those in the south.

Is anyone familiar with whether or not there is a government surcharge on conventional loans on residential investment properties and if so what are the details?

And that's great because a lot of the local governments of the littler cities are really responsive.In Bedford (25 minutes from downton CLE), the city charges a minimum of $50 a month per unit.

If you are on some sort of government program, then state it, don't just say "there is a company that pays that for me." 

Counties reassess property with significantly higher values annually, and local governments assume that they are entitled to a corresponding increase in spending.
