None of this stuff by itself is a ton of money, but add it all up and it cuts into profits.

I will not be in a position to start putting in offers, etc. and I don't want to waste the time of a busy professional (realtor) by constantly asking for comps for what in essence is homework for preparation.

You can install a digital sub metering system without even cutting any pipes or getting the utilities involved.

So it was a big waste of time, unfortunately.

It's a home run, but our window to close has been wasted by being strung along by US Bank. 

So spending thousands on a complex set up is a waste of money until you actually have something of substance.

Getting an MBA would not help me one bit, so I'd say that's probably a waste of time, money and energy. 

And even if the ADU was on your side the cost and time to do it is such a waste when there are some many other buildings/deals in Chicago.

The objective is to cut down on expenses as little as possible even tho I will not have cash flow.
