Thank you all who have assited me and endured my many questions.

And as that continues, so the argument goes, one should endure great losses now, for the promise of appreciation tomorrow.  

Do not purchase just for appreciation and you will be able to endure if there is another crash.  

For almost as long as I have been doing this, people have been "house hacking" properties and multi-units have nearly been impossible to come by in any area that is a good "location" (unless you had the foresight and ability to endure hard times brought by depreciation in places like humboldt, pilsen, portage park, etc).

I am leaving on great terms.However finding an alternate job with less stress (outside of being a barista) is a tough ask once you have 10+ years in the car business you are generally pigeonholed as less than.We are financially positioned to endure quite some time of a lesser income.

Your tenants sound like they are willing to endure the project but need a confirmation that the issue is getting handled by a person that's qualified with the mold issue.I had very small issue with mold behind a 4 inch piece of plastic base wall coving under a wall sink in bathroom.

I failed to mention in previous post, that you must endure public hearings and nobody wants ANYTHING in their backyard.

The majority of the vitals were done in the past 10 years, so the seller endured most of the major capital improvements.

It is a great opportunity with huge upside, but you will have to endure a lot to enjoy the upside.I am happy to discuss more if you like. 

Though your leverage is reasonable at 70%, your words indicate that your cash flow is not quite strong enough to comfortably endure decreases in rent.
