Prices have crept up here over the last year but those deals can still be found in old Glen Allen, Dumbarton, and several other neighborhoods within a 15 minute drive to UR. 

You might also take Google Earth tour of the property to find any defects from the air.

I would be glad to meet for a tour.

Planning to schedule for a tour in the next couple of weeks).I'm a newbie in this thing and I'm pretty sure I miss a couple of expenses that I should include in this analysis.All the help will be much appreciated!

I have found this very interesting, I live in a nice neighborhood with very nice homes, and many of my neighbors work 60+ hrs a week, and they have yard that look like the ninth whole at a PGA event, and they do it themselves.Many of my tenants on the other hand, work 2 hours a week depending on the length of unemployment line, so one might deduce that their yard would be drop dead gorgeous, as they have so much time to work in it.

I suggest you take the weekend and tour a few rentals in Streamwood to see the condition and locations.  

2) script for when I get them on phone for first time (know I need what price theyre trying to make, what issues there are with the property - need a due diligence checklist of some sort so I can begin to run numbers, but I don't know all of the info that I will need from that call)3) need a script or at least of info that I need to collect when making an in person visit/tour. also, need a checklist of what to look for when im estimating repairs.thanks for any help. im trying to put this together myself but if there is precedent info that would be tiiiight

I'm a bit nervous because I'm out of town and can't tour it.

.- Due diligence process creates challenges, but virtual tours provide some solutions. 

Usually people that are seriously interested will make it known to me after the tour the house.
