*Strong Economy – Phoenix is sustaining a healthy housing market, with thriving sectors like technology, healthcare, and finance continuously recruiting new residents and providing them with job opportunities.

Bottom line, provide a notice in writing.

Spokane’s tenant-friendly laws could present challenges, but its lower home prices compared to other markets might provide more affordable entry points.

For the crowdfunding and similar platforms that are starting to rise, would the lower returns be a result of the diversification they provide or due to the different risks they come with?

Maybe it’s just gut feel, but for some reason It FEELS like these two scenarios will provide excellent opportunities moving forward, while fishing for notes to purchase at significant discounts to current principal enough to yield sufficient returns doesn’t seem as promising.  

Anyone who can provide useful advice would be appreciated.

@Matt Smith - as @Christopher S. mentioned you cannot use an ADU unit in Chicago as an AirBNB as the city's intent with the program is to provide additional affordable housing. 

What are some cities that might provide cash flow, but remain affordable?

At that class of property, the delinquencies are not low and have to be properly accounted for.The reason I asked how long you have owned is that it takes a while to recognize the sustained expenses.Obvious is to get rid of the poor tenant.
