As you've mentioned, it makes more sense for the investor who is very local to the property to handle it.What is your experience with the "Keep Chicago Renting" ordinance?

After months of being told to wait(Issue started in April 2024) by rent redi, I finally found an agent that would escalate it to their backend payment processor(Propay). 

When they have a signed lease they are able to take 75% of that rent amount. 

My property is ready, rehabbed, and rented out.

Cost Segregation is a commonly used strategic tax planning tool that allows companies and individuals who have constructed, purchased, expanded or remodeled any kind of real estate to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions which can defer state and federal income taxes and increase cash flow.When a property is purchased, not only does it include a building structure, but it also includes all its interior and exterior components.

This is a duplex and this will be the first time I am renting both sides since I was house hacking.

Many of them will jump into property management, thinking they can retain clients and earn some easy money by collecting rent checks.

Why not look at a duplex or place with a legal suite and you can live in one unit and rent the rest of the house? 

I'd like to position myself as a one stop shop for home owners with distressed properties where I'd: 1) Provide a cash offer on there home - (with all the close fast, no hassle things)2) Help them list it or refer them to an agent in their area (keeping in mind that I would likely get a referral fee)3) Renovate their house for them then help them sell - I've got the team and know what renovations move the needleI'm beginning a period of what I hope to be substantial growth and I'd like to increase my flips/rentals at the same time so I'm wanting to ramp up my marketing.

Recently, I’ve been interning as the COO for a Real Estate Investment company that handles flips, remodels, and out of state investments, with the goal of scaling the business for increased profitability.My military background has instilled in me core values like resilience, integrity, hard work, and effective leadership.
