This is one of the easiest ways to dip your toes into real estate investing and get a feel for what it’s like to be a landlord.

Is the portal that the landlord and tenants use an additional charge?

Fast forward 2 years his landlord mentioned in passing he might sell the property; I was the first person on his mind.

@Zach HowardThere is no legal requirement for landlords to actually witness lease violations firsthand.

I’m also an active member of the local landlord association in Joliet (JRLA), which has been a great resource for networking and education.

sign a master lease with a struggling office landlord, have revenue splits.This seems like your only path forward

So now you’re making $750/yr being a landlord.

Lastly, there's very landlord friendly laws here!

-- We focus on verifying 2-year work history and verifying rent payments with last 2 landlords (unless in same property for 5+ years).3) MoveIn Specials: be careful with offering "free rent" as will just attract tenants with no cash.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

It's a landlord friendly state.2.
