I know the founder and know that they've set out to build a platform that takes the best features of sites like Furnished Finder and Airbnb and leaves out the clunkiness and annoying policies and practices.

It’s especially useful for prospecting foreclosures or expired listings.TruePeopleSearch (Free): If you’re working on a budget, this is a surprisingly helpful resource for quick lookups.That said, any platform can work if you use it consistently—it’s all about staying persistent.

I know it is strongly encouraged here for "credibility" reasons, but I personally think that is a bunch of bull. 

If you know of anyone that would be an ideal fit for this role, please encourage them to apply.We're looking at designing a mobile experience that will, in the long run, offer:1) Networking and Community features as powerful as Reddit or LinkedIn2) Educational/News features as powerful as the WSJ or NYT applications3) Market and Deal Finding Capabilities as powerful as Redfin, Zillow, or Realtor.com4) Portfolio Analysis, Property Management, and Wealth Management capabilities.If you have any additional suggestions or features that you'd love to see in our next mobile app, please post here, or message me directly.

It’s only when they’re trying to wind down a fund do you see which properties are the duds.I’m of the opinion that funds tend to be a more sensible platform when there’s a pre-identified number of opportunities that a sponsor's looking to capitalize on immediately.

No, I use PriceLabs which is dynamic pricing and adjusts prices on both platforms daily. 

Zillow is not ideal because this is a monthly furnished rental - which Zillow doesn't have a specific platform for - but that's what has worked for me up to now. 

I have integrated a couple of other platforms and had to do the exact same steps when it came to being able to receive payments online.

When you meet someone doing what you want to do and is very encouraging about the possibilities, it really makes you think and ask yourself, "what are you waiting for?".

@Jennie Berger gave you the whole kit & caboodle on Chicago zoning so I don't have a ton to ad, however, I'd highly encourage you to engage an architect like @Samuel Pavlovcik or @Prashanth Mahakali, both are awesome local Chicago resources.
