I have done a lot of research the last few months and have gotten myself up to speed pretty well so I'm not looking for a lot of free knowledge from a realtor.

To date, I am getting 20-30% increase in net revenue for clients.

That being said, I would use the "Lenders" link on BiggerPockets to try to reach out to more lenders about any programs they have that may fit your needs.Granted, my personal experience is somewhat dated, but when I was primarily doing BRRRs, I had a local lender that required 12 month seasoning on my first two deals.  

To date they have paid out monthly like clockwork. 

Now 2 days before my closing date and getting all clear on the closing, they have increased the rate by 2.2%.

For nonpayment, and assuming it's a market rate property, you can't post for nonpayment until 7 days after the due date.

Offering incentives like one month free or waiving fees might also help speed things up.I'd be happy to connect and share more! 

.: The available/start date is the day the unit is ready for a tenant to occupy.

Chicago is a tenant friendly city and it takes months of court dates to get them officially evicted.

But yes, if airlines don't sell their inventory, they slash prices closer to a date.
