What's up BP,I am officially looking to make my first rental purchase in Chicago hopefully in the next 2 - 6 months.

But I still want to make sure the title won't give me major problems when I officially close.I think I read somewhere that you can start the title search process before closing (before the buyer signs a contract with you?).

Go to the county clerk's official public records and look for sales on that same street and the same area with in the past ~5 years or so.  

Now that I am officially licensed, do I need to mention that I am a realtor on the actual mail piece (yellow letter, postcard)?

So, my question is really two questions:A) Has anyone else had issues getting deals done on proprietary purchase agreements which are not the official state form (C.A.R form in my case, being in California).

The "official" vacancy rates I've seen are 8%-12%.

That hit our passive income goals but we had to recoup cash buffer.It's officially official, we are free and neither of us have to work!

[Not official advice].If you paid all cash, Fannie's Rules will let you conventionally Finance it up to 70% of THEIR valuation straight away if that helps.

The finished project will have 16 office buildings and will hold around 16,000 Cerner employees; mostly IT jobs.Since the project was officially announced back in 2014, I have seen countless investors scramble to scope up as many SFRs in this area as they can, betting on increasing rents and property values.  

Perhaps he could have been wrong or gotten something incorrectly, since the property was officially listed as 3 unit MFH.
