Rachael and Jay thank you for the honest feed back.

But honestly, you'll want to shop around and compare a few local PMs since fees and services can vary quite a bit.

Quote from @Kevin Sobilo: Sadly wholesalers have a stigma for not being honest about what they do.

To be honest, I wasn't sure if buying property in Chicago (Roger's Park) was the right "investment" given our city's problems, but I just love the city so much I just had to get the property when I could.

If you want a 3% return, honestly put it in the bank in a good savings account. 

Thank for your honest opinion. 

@Toby Khan I’m not positive honestly, best bet would be to reach out to them.

Would appreciate honest feedback for the best way to get and stay organized!

Or you can sell it, split the equity, and go separate ways.I'm not a fan of borrowing from family/friends unless all parties are honest and everything is documented in a written contract.

I think it's more about the people honestly - if I decide that I'm going that route than I'd narrow it down to 4 or 5 cities and I'd try to meet some agents and property management companies from there.
