Feel free to reach out, and I can share some recommendations based on your project

I see a lot of amenities you recommended as amenities that increase the quality of stay which leads to a higher guest satisfaction but doesn't really affect my return.

I would forgo altogether the decorative fence too. regarding the driveway & sidewalk I would recommend not adding a brick ribbon.

It is possible to utilize low down payment loans and live in great neighborhoods in Chicago Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

If you went to a surgeon, do you think they would recommend a surgery? 

We simply include the tax on the invoice sent to guests, which makes it easier to track and ensures we're covered for tax purposes at the end of the year.For Chicago, I’d recommend checking directly with the city’s tax office or a CPA, but generally, you’ll need to register with the city, collect the hotel tax from guests, and remit it on a regular schedule (likely monthly or quarterly).

For house-flippers, which social media channels would you recommend?

Recommend you get the Engineer up front.

@Jenna Kelley I just commented on another post about this as well, but if you are having foundational issues, do not call a contractor I would highly recommend calling a structural engineer as they are going to tell you exactly what needs to be done.
