Hello All, I have a vintage 3 flat in Logan Square that does not currently have any doorbell or intercom system.

Also, are there any specific tests and inspections recommended for buildings of this vintage?

On our now-daily long walk with our dog in Colorado Springs yesterday, we ran into a jewelry shop owner on the sidewalk in downtown who said he was going to shut down.

Turn off the cable, return the latest iPhone to the store, sell your jewelry, downgrade your car, list useless stuff around your home on ebay, get a roommate, whatever it is, figure out a way.

When you buy in older areas, vintage is normal for the area and totally acceptable.

@Daniel Lozowy, the expense ratio can vary quite a bit depending on the size, rents, vintage, etc.Ask for the actual T12  and compare them to your underwriting.Were there significant CapEx needs?

I’m in my 20s and his advice doesn’t mean jack squat to me because I don’t carry CC debt, I have multiple streams of income and I do spend money on flashy cars and jewelry and watches.
