I'd like the building to be within 10 minutes walking distance from a Brown Line L stop, ideally in Lake View, North Center, or Ravenswood.

Understanding your top priorities can help in determining whether Stessa, Baselane, or another tool might best fit your needs.If you're comfortable with apartments.co for rent collection but want higher yields on your cash (this is me reading between the lines) you could have the transfers go into a high yield business account like BlueVine 1.5% interest or something like CapitalOne 3.9%.

Some of my clients in this scenario literally just pick-up the phone, tell the seller of their specific property they are interested and they are well qualified, and see if there is some kind of fit.
