I know it possible just am curious to where I can find them Cold calling has its place, don't get me wrong, I just don't think it's the only way to find viable properties. 

I did NYREI - you can't go wrong with it.

My perceived risk at the time whether, right, wrong, or indifferent, the reward for me just wasn’t there.

Theyre under the microscope right now.At the end of the day, I don't what else to tell you other than you are wrong here.

Just on your purchase and rehab you're at 220 if nothing goes wrong. $7k on holding, $16k in commission, $5 in closing brings you to 248 if everything goes according to plan.

Bloody oath I do mate.It's never their fault and always yours (Ours).They rarely take any responsibility and cry victim.It's crazy to think but it's like many intentionally look for drama and deep down inside don't want success but rather problems.Someone to dislike and blame and to feel wronged by.All other personal and "at home" issues can now be blamed on this one unfortunate scenario.This "drama" per se is like food for the hungry and they need such drama in life to "survive".My apologies if my above comments sound weird as they are more so from a philosophical standpoint and just some thoughts that I have considered after 5,000+ investor intro calls and as you have mentioned, others feeling wronged by me or my company on many occasions.What a $#@% way to live IMO but I don't judge and sleep in peace.Again, I have been "wronged" by many but consider it my own fault.I also don't call them out publicly or post bad reviews, etc... 

You may think it helps you retain tenants and prevents costly turnovers, but you are wrong.

I like your post and you obviously know Chicago but a lot of what you are saying is just plain wrong.

But if the former tenant ever wants to cause an issue you will have been in the wrong.

When things go wrong the “passive investor is helpless to do anything about it; sure he can display his displeasure by emailing the “sponsor/manager”, complaining on BP or Facebook; report his frustration to a governmental agency.
