I reached out to an architect that is familiar with the process & he said it could take up to 6 months.My advise to you as the buyer is that the purchase price should reflect the 6 months you'll have to wait to legally rent out both units.

Some HVAC companies will offer a service where they'll rent one out to you while you wait on parts. 

I am the one who received my rent later not the Mgmt company is this just part of the property management model??

After months of being told to wait(Issue started in April 2024) by rent redi, I finally found an agent that would escalate it to their backend payment processor(Propay). 

As you've mentioned, it makes more sense for the investor who is very local to the property to handle it.What is your experience with the "Keep Chicago Renting" ordinance?

@Debbie Palmer you can rent out your property when you are traveling provided you comply with local regulations. 

I feel like that would affect the max occupancy when listing it for rentals but am still trying to get my head around local regulations regarding STR.Am I correct in assuming that we can only rent the home for a max occupancy of what the septic can "handle" based on local regulations?

My property is ready, rehabbed, and rented out.

This is a duplex and this will be the first time I am renting both sides since I was house hacking.

She has a 780 credit score, makes 4x the rent, and everything looks perfect.
