I just have to be patient.

Common utilities paid by the landlord will be similar if not the same; standard services (extermination, changing filters, snow removal, fire safety inspections etc.) will cost the same.Expenses will vary depending on the market.

Chicago's Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) and building codes require that all rental units meet zoning, health, and safety standards.

However, if you decide to install HVAC, it should be based on the comfort and safety of your tenants.

There are plenty of people that for $100 will use their medical license and type up a letter that their patient needs an ESA.Also, if the ESA exhibits any aggressive behavior it can be removed from the property IMMEDIATELY. 

I know they have have a stellar track record & hVe never missed a payment, but still I need to understand the safety of the investment in a worst case scanrio?

maybe the answer is some sort of Hunters safety course we all took as kids before we got our first guns.. you have a investor safety program that is not a guru LOL..

If it sounds too good to be true, then make sure that you take the necessary steps to ensure your own safety.

I believe the safety is solid for my wife and me; in fact, we are about to start having children here.

For that extra psychological safety of handling a that multi-M upscale luxury property transaction maybe worth it, but that's not your market.
