Account Closed - I use Sizzle Productions out of Oak Brook and would highly recommend them.

@Tony Robledo you can even get resources that are Oak Park specific, as Oak Park has their own realtor board and quite a bit of info for rental owners.

MikeExamples - Light bulbs- Miniblinds (that have been damaged by the tenant)- Chipped countertops (caused by the tenant)- Broken doorknob - Broken window or screen (caused by the tenant)

But with a TK property you will spend tons on plumber for a leak you have no idea where it's coming from, an electrician figuring out where the short circuit or bad wiring is at and a contractor to fix a patch up Sheetrock or chip paint and all while the tenants are moved and living there months down the line.Hope nobody gets offended when I say this but turn keys properties are for people who don't want to do any grunt work.

You can google the local contacts for Paces Funding, Lima One, Angel Oak...  

Or make it a distribution hub for Chips, Tortillas, Snap on tools, Floral distribution, etc.Fairburn and Welcome All road, 6.43 acres for $308,000 zoned residential.

Lol I was the kid in school that sold goodies out their locker calculating cost and how to make a profit off of a 30 pack box of chips.

If they’re oak stairs you can sand and finish them, install a carpet runner or just install carpet them (which will be your cheapest option).
