Until you've gone through it, you don't realize just how much it is a pain.

Most of the city is rentable, yet the quality of the city changes block by block.

In some areas you can literally see the movement, block by block.

My girlfriend's parents live off 56th / Dandy Trail nearby (nice late 70s homes right off the lake) and the property is a few blocks from the Colts complex.

they own almost a whole city block in that area.  

Major problem is there is a long (but only one car-width) driveway, so if they both are using it, one is always blocking in the other person.I have a few other properties that this is the case, but fortunately my tenants have all worked it out amongst themselves, however in this situation they just cannot.I have a few ideas, but want other people's thoughts, experiences and advice.Many thanks in advance!

Just ignore the dirt, keep digging, and you'll get to the gold.Never forget that the conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking.stephen------------

I posted here before of my painful experience dealing with CitiMortgage for my condo conversion refinance in San Francisco.I just signed closing papers yesterday for another property my husband and I just purchased (also in SF), and am still in awe of how painless the financing process was.

I did the banking end myself, and admittedly that was a pain in the a$$ - I had to go to 5 local banks before anyone understood what I was wanting to do.This was in 2010 I think, and cost about $500 total.  

Waiting 2 or 3 months for rent would be excruciatingly painful for me.
