@Jacob Dalton, I'm going to have to agree with Jonathan Klemm (sorry, couldn't tag you) & @Brie Schmidt -- you can definitely be a successful landlord in Chicago with the right team in place.  1000's of investors do it every day.

I spoke with the title company who is still helping us wrap up the set-up of a servicing company, and she confirmed that they would be responsible for the principal / interest for Nov and Dec, while we are responsible for the escrow shortage balance (as agreed upon).Not sure how it was missed - not my favorite title company to work with.
