Check your contract.

Quote from @Unal Baris Kancoglu: I contacted as many companies as possible to get a quote to compare prices for new gas furnaces.

So many variables can turn a deal sideways from 1 hour to the next - i.e. inspection findings, title issues, contracts, financing issues, taxes, dept. of buildings/local municipalities, etc.I'm glad to hear you made it through the challenges, and it sounds like you'll be able to leverage this experience as you grow your portfolio.All the best to you along your journey!

.- To utilize the Mills Act requires a few things: An application (not free), inspections, and most importantly a contract with the city in which you promise to rehab and maintain the historic nature of the property.- The inspections are only 5 years, but tenants are not likely to take care of them home as well as you, and refurbishing hardwood, lath and plaster, and anything else is going to be much more expensive than the typical Landlord special (white paint, and grey LVP)It will all come down to making your numbers work.

One is under contract in which I plan to 1031 into something larger and the other I just plan to keep as the contract expires soon.

She notified me yesterday her contract was canceled and asked about terminating the lease.  

Wholesaling, where you can put a property under contract and sell that contract for more money.

5️⃣ Pressure to Move Fast – Trying to get you to wire money or sign contracts without due diligence?

I work in WA, not IL.Sounds like similar facts - you need to be licensed if you are going to manage other folks' property.Here, you need to hang your license under a managing broker until you can get your managing brokers license, as brokers can't touch money and do a few other things legally.If it's like WA, you will have to hang your license under a managing broker at a brokerage, and coordinate deposits, contracts, fees with them.If that is the case, ask some brokerages that will allow you to hang your license under them for minimal fees in order to be compliant.
