If you cross over into Cook county, it's more tenant friendly, and finally, if you go within the City of Chicago, it's extremely tenant friendly.

Guy is ready to move in on completion, full ask, full deposit, no pets, no smokers.

Or sometimes even if the grocery store is open and they could cook.

If I'm going to cook a meal, I'm setting up everything before hand, making sure my knives are sharp, my recipe is clear, and I have the best ingredients.

He has good income, no evictions, quiet and a non-smoker (he also didn’t smell like smoke and also didn’t smell like an overload of cologne in hopes of masking the smell) So day one he moves in, looks like his girlfriend his helping him move in.

On the flip side, for such a small home in a price point below $100k, it is likely not necessary, particularly in a sellers market.Options: Do some light staging - bring nice towels from home to place in bathroom, bring light staging items like cooking books, candles, fruit baskets for kitchen, and some artwork to hang on some main walls.

Case in point I bought a new cook top from Lowes.

I found Eddie Cooke at Xenith Bank to be very helpful. 

Is it to give the person who cooks a break (why not have the other spouse cook or have the kids cook), it is to get the family together so they can talk away from distractions (got to the park, on a hike, for a walk).As for paying off debt, I think it depends on a few things: what is the difference in the interest rates (4 vs 5% or 4 vs 30%)? 

Very few places do and you could probably charge a premium and reduce turnover plus when someone leaves it’s not like you have to completely renovate it if you get another smoker.
