Welcome @Richard Cook!

Market for this neighborhood is ~$1100 per side, so once I get the next set of tenants in there, we should be cooking with gas.  

I really appreciate the insight and it will only help with future deals.To respond to some of your pointsI calculated my taxes myself using the rates from my area as per the cook county assessors office and it came out to be $300 higher($25 a month) than what the current owner pays so it wasn't far off.How much do you budget on average for move out costs?

The boyfriend of one of the tenants started a grease fire cooking burgers, and tried to douse it with water in the sink.

So I go to the grocery store buy chicken breasts cook it myself and I feel no less happier cooking myself and I know the old woman was right $3.00 and $2.00 for this and that is really outrageous.

As a fellow BP member says "too many cooks in the kitchen is not a good idea"Thanks all,Mike

And here's another problem to tackle: what I think is old info may be what you think is new and essential.My rule of thumb is that I never want to buy cookbooks from people who no longer cook.

hi jalen. all good advice here. read all you can on real estate, especially any book by russ whitney and wade cook. watch all of the BP podcasts here too. there will be times when you feel like giving up, feel like things just aren't going to work out for you.

You can get your supplies at Fisher on Cooke St.
