My goal is to purchase my first property between now and mid to late 2025.

As a few have mentioned, the best way would be to call the listing agents directly, but depending on how much time you want to dedicate, setting and going on multiple appointments with different people could prove to be time-consuming. 

.✅ Stronger Tenant Relationships – Being involved directly allows you to build rapport with your tenants, which can lead to better communication and longer leases.Cons of Self-Managing❌ Time-Consuming – Dealing with maintenance requests, late-night emergencies, and tenant disputes can quickly become a second job.❌ Legal Risks – Chicago has strict landlord-tenant laws.

Its this sharp depreciating component which has always prevented such a purchase.  

We source and purchase all finish materials for our projects (lights/plumbing fixtures/etc). 

I definitely wouldn't sign a purchase agreement before seeing the property.

This initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow.  2) the addition of the adu makes the property multi family and likely makes rent control apply.  

I checked the Better Business Bureau for complaints, I checked the NJ State Attorney General consumer division to ensure he was licensed, I checked every reference he gave by visiting sites and speaking with the homeowners. 

Unless you make the theme of the house around that famous person, I dont think consumers will pay a market premium on ADR to stay. 

I was going to use Kiavi, but apparently I do not have a consumer profile and lexisnexis has to locate it and this can take a while and I have a deal on the table that I do not want to lose.Please advise.Thanks!
