Fortunately, I worked in consumer credit for a while and could help if it came to that.Talking about selling to people you know, coincidentally, one of the buyers was a local doctor he knew, located 2 blocks away, that wants to buy it to relocate his office.

Chicago is TRICKY as hell, and really does vary block by block.

Consider telling them you want to block a few months for personal use and renovations.

I am sure blocking smoke alarms also qualifies.

There are also signs of a cover up at the base of the foundation because there are new concrete blocks there to hide the foundation and a temporary drain placed nearby to prevent water from reaching the foundation.

I’m leaning toward concrete floors, so two levels with block and reinforced concrete has been my target.

i always focused on multiple income properties like Block of flats / MFR , Home and incomes etc. these are much better to support the loan payment then single houses. 

@Allan Yau still doesn't work, maybe it is blocked for potential virus purposes.

@Syrica BrownCraigslist (don't put street address in ad)Facebook Market placeZillow ( this broadcast to several other sites like hotpads etc)I don't schedule individual showings, I schedule an open house and funnel everyone to that same block of time.I typically get a line of people filling out an application. 

I’m on my second project and now I’ve bought a property that is 4 blocks from a major university.
