Chicagoland is extremely tenant friendly so understand that going in. 

You can also check out a group on Facebook with other investor like your self called Yellowbird.

suggest you think of using digital business cards, but not typical ones like all solutions out there, something that is the first AI-powered digital business card and offers AI persona, which handle client questions and would act as your 24/7 personal assistant. it’s called Avatalk,

The previous owner claims they never had the titles to these trailers, so that is not option. 

I would highly encourage paying a GC to walk deals out the gate, have them give a scope of work so you can see what items costs.

So be careful of that.

While @Phillip Austin mentioned Raleigh is a higher returns its just very much a appreciation market, you will not find rentals that cashflow, so depending on your goals its a good or bad market.

Better tenants expect better and treat the property so.

So keep that in mind when using a special lock system. 

finally a guy who knows this guy and calls him a scammer haha.
