Not meant for doom and gloom but meant to shed light on our profession.

The 8 to 10% is worth its weight in gold. 

It needs a lot of work, but my main thing I need help with is this old shed behind the property.

I lived in Toronto for a couple of years, and the real estate there is quite funky.Making the trip and meeting people in person will be worth its weight in gold...GREAT CALL on that.We work solely in Chicago as a general contractor...for now. 

My first metric of weight I consider is CAP-X.

The fact that there's only 2 meters on property is a huge hint that the third unit may not be legal or may be a legal non-conforming use.My guess is the property has a main house and an ADU that was once a shed or a barn in the back.

Thank you, @Zachary JensenCan you shed any light on this?

The good ones are worth their weight in gold, but does the license make them magically smarter?

Not knowing anything else about the future this keeps your pro forma not overly weighted one way or another.

(They paid a handyman $150 to put the weight back on the kitchen sink faucet line!
