It does not matter if you find the single best market in the US.

.: Going to be moving to Chicago next year; looking to purchase a rental property down the line in 1-2 years and just really confused where to go.

This is not the norm right now, but I do believe over the next several years, we will see more sellers accepting this asset due to its potential and hedge against the deflating dollar. 

I have done this before and now find the risk just to high.  

If you are the nicest 4/2 out there in the market and all the rest have not been remodeled in say 15 years, and your property was remodeled a month ago then the price on your property will be easily justified at a higher price on the listing side. 

You can often get better rates with a national lender, but the customer service is non-existent, communication probably sucks, they may ask for the same documents multiple times, etc.

Some company paystubs have specific characteristics that are embedded in the document that make them a bit different.

You can learn just about anything you need to complete a small project off YouTube and with the right tools.  

It’s just the nature of the beast.
