When I applied for the rental permit, I got this message.Looking over the rental registration paperwork with the New Castle County parcel information it shows it to be 100% basement, but doesn’t show any basement % finished.I had checked in the original building permit and on the certificate of occupancy (12/19/03), and it doesn’t list a finished basement on them documents either.

Granted, we just finished our now 11mo rehab, that was supposed to be 6-8months.  

Guess I could have pulled out a little more but financing solo 440k was topping out my DTIThis property can definitely cash flow as a rental - just wasn't built to be one (higher end finishes). 

Anything specific to Cook county?

I just finished a system that automatically generates leads and analyzes them.

Work for those off-market deals and add value by finishing basements and or adding baths or bedrooms.   

I would expect most of these homes to be finished by late this year or early next year.

great house is about to be finished but we are under contract!

Just a side note this rehab has taken over 10 months and it's not even close to finished. 

Bonding insures your project gets done, insurance Work Comp and Liability (Yes BOTH) prevent you from being hung out if something goes wrong, and licensing insures that a minimum amount of knowledge exists to be a GC.Skills test- go and see a finished project, see one under construction too.
