I’ve had to widen my search radius to smaller suburbs or target properties needing light cosmetic work to make the numbers work.Value-add opportunities: Adding amenities tenants love, like finished basements or upgraded kitchens, seems to justify rent premiums in this market.Navigating the competition:Be creative with financing: Seller financing or partnering with other investors has been helpful to secure deals when conventional offers didn’t cut it.Work with local agents and wholesalers: They often have their finger on the pulse of off-market opportunities, which is critical in a hot market.For those new to suburban Chicago investing, I’d say the key is finding the “sweet spot” neighborhoods—ones on the rise but not yet maxed out in price.

I like markets with diverse job drivers, and it is always helpful to have major corporations locally. 

One person had to go through 30+ local commercial lenders which are the easiest to work with!

@Kris Lou Many factors go into PMC pricing:1) Locality (city/state)2) Neighborhood & Property Class (time to manage Class A < Class B < Class C < Class D)3) Property condition (slumlord properties hard to manage)4) Number of units (some economies of scale, but not as much as owners think)5) Owner expectations (some owners really want a personal assistant!)

Is it an automated voice attendant, is it a call center where you are routed to someone else eventually to get an answer, or is it a live, well trained staff member?

Even if you're in a local 50+ league and want to be competitive, a coach is probably over-kill.

Thank you@Brian Lubeck I believe you need to call the local DMV for where your trailers are located and go through the process for a replacement title.

There is some but you FB or local event would produce more.

Thank youBest,SathishkumarI would potentially try starting out being a cohost in that local area or work for a cohost company .

@Brett Riemensnider Following @Caleb Brown's advice, you need to contact a local eviction attorney asap and let them know you have demands for nonpayment of rent that have expired and you'd like to start the eviction process.
