John, not sure if you are familiar with the current STR situation in Huntsville, but the city has shut down STRs that are not zoned correctly and also not permitted. 

Abel Hi Abel thank you for taking the time to post this I appreciate it It gives me a lot of great information I own a restaurant in a tight knit community so I think I have a good starting point for potential clients I have around 5 hours a day to work on the side hustle I will add that book to my list are there any other books you recommend for getting into real estate? 

Do I need to contact the city of Chicago to have the water shut off or is this something I can do myself? 

There's the vibrant downtown area with trendy restaurants and there are beautiful parks and green spaces throughout the city.

After checking the online portal, I see the current balance is over $3,100, and the water was shut off two days ago.

Make it a standard practice to show all of your tenants where the main water shutoff valve is and label it clearly so they know how to shut the water off right away if something like this happens.

This deal fell on my lap as I was working with my family at their restaurant.

@Petar Stojanovski - I have no ability to open a dispute, they completely shut me down and I can't do anything from my account

is the utility company threatening to shut off the water?

When we last spoke he mentioned he had covid and his phone has been shut off, but he was planning to be at the house the next weekend with rent and all the late fees ready to go.
