Here is my favorite (among several others, just as hysterical) part of this case:"...Petitioner’s testimony that neither he nor his son used his personal bedroom,living room, or kitchen for personal reasons strains credibility.

I’ve had to widen my search radius to smaller suburbs or target properties needing light cosmetic work to make the numbers work.Value-add opportunities: Adding amenities tenants love, like finished basements or upgraded kitchens, seems to justify rent premiums in this market.Navigating the competition:Be creative with financing: Seller financing or partnering with other investors has been helpful to secure deals when conventional offers didn’t cut it.Work with local agents and wholesalers: They often have their finger on the pulse of off-market opportunities, which is critical in a hot market.For those new to suburban Chicago investing, I’d say the key is finding the “sweet spot” neighborhoods—ones on the rise but not yet maxed out in price.

They can't assess all the subjective data like overall layout, view from the living room window, the dogs next door that bark all day, the width of doorways, size of individual rooms, quality of kitchen cabinets and appliances, etc.The best thing to do is study your market regularly.

My goal is to rent it out to start generating some cash flow.I’m planning to remodel the kitchen soon, and once that’s done, I’d like to move out to make the apartment available for renters.

Not an expert here but my Brother is a heavy equipment operator in Northern CA and did a lot of the fire clean up when those fires happened and he mentioned contractor might need hazard waste removal license..

Stocked kitchen, wifi, Hot tub, etc?

From adding bi-fold doors to creating outdoor kitchens, we design spaces that make the most of Southern California’s weather.These trends not only elevate the homes we renovate but also ensure they stand out in the market.
