I consider it was an extraordinary experience in terms of learning but essentially on profits made in a pro business environment country with solid and clear laws, both for tenants and landlord.

We are in a historic election cycle in terms of marketing spend and divisiveness.

We are in the beginning stages of raising outside capital (we are using only our own money + hard money loans for now) and are trying to determine how to cost our fixed overhead costs in terms of LP fund profit.  

I was exiting from my last business.I'm now focused on REI full-time moving forwards so there won't be another job or income stream outside of this.I do have tax returns that show some income but it's very minimal and basically just what trickled in the past 2 years.I have a good amount of liquidity in terms of cash, I have zero debt and I have a 750+ credit score.Should I approach them with the intentions of trying to get regular conventional financing?

I'm wondering, what should my plans be in terms of figuring out what size to make the rooms, bathroom, kitchen, etc?

*crosses fingers*@C Bumby - yeah I've noticed that the boroughs are pretty similar to the SF Bay Area in terms of low cap rates and low rent/price ratios.

Although I didn't mention this, the only reason I'm considering the property is because I think I could easily get a good ROI by being a problem solver through implementing one of these systems (even considering the costs), I believe the rents are currently below market (I haven't factored this into my analysis yet, though), and it would provide a great central location for my fiancée and myself in terms of work and school.Additionally, I've recently found out that there are 2 meters for the property which would seem to make this easier considering I will be living in the third unit for probably 3 years.

Granted I’ve not been at this for decades as some, but in terms of house prices alone the debt to income ratio would knock out a large number of buyers and stifle the housing economy.

Talk to your mortgage broker or lender about the specifics and they can tell you how you stand in terms of debt-to-income (DTI). 

In terms of rs3 nearly all the multi units in chicago are grandfathered in so the lot zoning does not really matter unless you tear it down and want build new.
