What's the risk or cost to you if you face an eviction or a bad tenant because you used basic screening techniques? 

It’s humbing and frustrating, but it also teaches you those guardrails you’ll want next time.. like thorough screening, a solid lease agreement that sets ground rules upfront, and maybe even setting aside a bit more cushion in reserves.Chicago’s got plenty of investor-friendly pockets.

I screen individual dogs (of any breed) with an in-person evaluation before accepting their owners as my tenants.  

I’m reaching out with an investment opportunity in a real estate flip project, and I’m currently seeking a limited partner to join me.With a strong track record of successful real estate investments, I am looking to partner with someone who shares an interest in capitalizing on the potential of this market.

They already have a track record (good or bad) with you, so you can decide based on payment history, inspections, etc.

I recently did one where the lender did allow it but that was because of our position as a great customer of the bank and our impeccable credit record.  

We intake county record updates daily.

While may not have high amount minimums, they may have a minimum $ threshold for cc processing, Ours is $0.60, with a discounted plan that could be a few as 8 records.

I would recommend targeting 30 day minimum rentals (Most associations are 90+), allowing 12+ rentals per year (most allow 1-3), and no in-person screening for tenants required.

You want to use a contractor or repair man with a proven track record.
