Integrate everything from calls. emails, automations, web rules, triggers, you name it. 

Don’t gamble on the neighborhood5. 

I teach high school and I have a background in graphic design, web design, and social media.

Maybe not a bad idea to double check with one of the web-based calculators until you figure out what you did wrong on the BP one.ARV is all about comps when it comes to residential properties.

Landlord: Focus on applicant criteria, vetting potential tenants, thorough lease agreements, outline tenant expectations, perform regular walk throughs with tenants, and use web-based rent collection and maintenance requests. 

Most people don't really understand what that means and misuse it all the time.I'd start with the municipal web site to see who is listed as the owner there.

If your startup costs are less than $5,000, you can expense it as a “start up cost” under “other expenses” rather than amortize it over 15 years (which I point out only because you might find something amount amortizing start up costs on the web somewhere).

It also includes common forms that you can edit and use.Their web site is a free resource with links to your state law but I highly recommend the book for some of the practical advice they provide.

Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people win and do well playing the appreciation game but it is my opinion that we are at or near the top of the market so I personally wouldn’t gamble on continued appreciation for the win.

@Gino ColucciYou should be able to find plenty of Chicago agents on here or by searching the web.
