@Jacob Dalton - I have been a landlord in Chicago for 13 years and as an investor agent I have worked with 200+ investors on the north side of Chicago over the last 10 years. 

Not to mention they wrote of over $300k worth of taxes for me utilizing a cost segregation study. 

That tenant is gone now but it is something I go over on occupancy as unacceptable. 

(I will ask that, out of respect for our current tenants’ security and privacy, to wait until your viewing appointment before walking the property.)If everything above is agreeable to you, let me know your availability over the next few days and I'd be happy to take you through the apartment.

Send me over the details and the location in NJ.

Since I've owned just a few days over a year, I'm not a happy camper and have no doubt they knew this was going to happen when they took my money last November. 

These folks also tend to have all of their income and expenses going through a separate bank account so they just need to look in that one account to get everything organized.Self Managed, High Volume, Not Organized at all - this is the type of people that stress out over tax season. 

Hindsight Critique•Continue to build relationships to increase deal flow•Property manager (Mercer Hughes) is critical to completing renovations and quick tenant placement•Continue to build relationships with private lenders and personal investors•Have cash available to make quick competitive offers Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Having end dates in the summer is perfect and usually what I strive for.2 out of the 3 of these vacancies were actually planned for summer end dates.The one tenant is my tenant below in my househack and he has been absolutely incredible and kept me posted about this move for over 6 months.

You have decent cash flow that you'll continue to accumulate, which you could put toward a deposit later for another property.
