Whether the seller was open to a buyer commission or not, I wouldn't put an additional cost into any personal purchase.  

Living in one unit and renting out the others allows you to deduct 75% of expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and shared repairs as rental expenses, while the remaining 25% applies to personal use.

Interest rates need to drop a certain amount in order for a person to make a transaction right now.

Highly suggest coming out to some of the local chicago IN-PERSON meetups! 

I have no idea who I should reach out to for help, and I just do not understand how this person no longer responds to emails or returns phone calls.I hope someone can provide some guidance. 

They are all under my personal name.

Apparently, the person I am under contract with was managing the estate of the actual owner who recently died.  

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

If there is a due on sale clause in the loan doc then it doesn’t matter what the loan officer told you verbally.I’m not an attorney, but from my understanding of the loan is still in your name personally a good litigator can pierce the veil and your LLC protection wouldn’t amount to much.

We would want to use it for personal use probably one per year.
