I think one of them offers a public API.Once you get your license, you can join the CAR Chicago Association of Realtors and I have found them to be extremely helpful with questions like this. 

Bloomington has milder winters then we do up here in Chicago, but still gets snow and cold, which takes a toll on the property.  

We are attempting to get an eviction date, but could not pass a lead paint inspection because the weather is so cold in Cleveland that the paint will not dry.

It's an extremely clear lease clause, tenant gets discount based on painting of rooms landlord chooses.

I would do this first before engaging an agent unless you are extremely active.

Air conditioned air leaking to crawlspace making crawlspace heat or cold depending on season causing more power bill to tenants.

Any competitive DSCR program is going to be in the 90-day seasoning range for allowing a refinance based on the newly appraised value.Your 9-month seasoning should not be an issue, barring an extremely unique situation (like inheriting a property or having it gifted to you).------------------------------------• 0-6 Months (Delayed Purchase, no Rehab completed) - up to 80% of purchase price• 6+ Months (Cash-Out Refinance, no Rehab completed) - up to 75% of appraised value• 0-3 Months (Cash-out refi, Rehab completed) - 75% of appraised value [good rates]• 3-6 Months (Cash-out refi, Rehab completed) - 75% of appraised value [best rates]

You're increasing the need for hot and cold air dramatically and it's doubtful the existing system will be adequate.But, in answer to your original question - yes you will need a permit.

So here is what I do:1 - Get buyer criteria for what they are looking for (exact criteria)2 - Go source that criteria using data provider3 - Scrub the list and plan a marketing campaign around it (i.e) > Direct Mail > Cold Call > SMS > Online Ads > Social Media, etc4 - Once I get inbound leads coming in.

But after getting to a certain point in the process (keep in mind I haven't closed yet) I am left feeling extremely nervous with what the future holds on this property as far as some things go.
