Thanks in advance.Hey Cosmo,I do think there is a growing concern towards the reliability with section 8 with varying administrations right now.

Do you think this issue is specific to banking services or what do you think is the root cause?

There was an STR boom when many people bought homes here thinking they could have passive income, but that is not the case here as much as it is in places like Asheville (which is still seasonal, but not as much).

I personally think being a landlord in Chicago is easy and I have never had an eviction. 

Think multi unit residential, commercial properties, or purchasing houses “subject to” existing mortgage.  

And I think it is, with certain caveats  and in certain states. 

My wife and I did our own taxes using some program (I don't think it was TurboTax, but maybe.)

I don't think that's true.  

I came across some critical information today that I think is important to share with you:In the aftermath of the LA fires, it has become evident that some homeowners’ insurance claims have been denied or disputed because the property title was held in a trust, but the insurance policy was under the individual homeowner’s name.This serves as a valuable reminder to review your insurance policies and ensure that the ownership structure on your property title matches the named insured on their policy.

I can think of probably another 100 questions, but you get the idea.
