What I mean by that is continuing to feed the pot with a bad hand using the rationalization you have a lot of chips in there already that you would lose if you folded...and that would be completely wrong.Poker is a lot like REI in this regard. 

Backsplashes and pot racks can look great and are relatively cheap.

Do the tenants cook for themselves or does the operator have to supply all the meals?

I am wondering if there is an easy way in Cook County to find the amount of legal units in a multifamily property without pulling a zoning certificate.My situation:I have a property that is being marketed as a 5 unit, 3 units main & 2 units coach house.

We found a device for smoking pot. 

I don't care how well you rehab the house and if U pull all permits if your tenant base is abusing and transient your goose is cooked before you ever started.. 

Furnish all the bedrooms (Craigslist $100-300 per bed with preowned mattress, buy $10-20 mattress cover, $10 lamp, $50 dresser or nightstand) and provide the kitchens with basic supplies (Walmart $20 4 piece set, $10 silverware, maybe some pots or not, can buy 1 multipiece set and split it between your units)Install Schlage Camelot electronic Door Code locks on the door ($100 Amazon-no lockouts) or a lockbox ($25) with backup keysPost on Nextdoor and Craigslist looking for a “house Mom” / Cleaner who will clean units between guests for $20/turnover.

I do think it's a little bit like the pot calling the Kettle black when you run #tenantsfromhell, talk about garnishing their food stamps, and call them (wordbpwouldn'tapproveof)  savages. 

Let me know what they have cooking next time you chat with them
