It worked out well for him, because he basically got a "turn key" house that he could "test drive" for a year before actually buying without much skin in the game on his end...

Pilsen is good neighborhood that has been gentrifying the past 10 years, really hipsterish and diverse with a lot of new restaurants.

I had did a few offers last year but nothing is a super deal so just playing the wait game.

The Rams may be leaving, but hockey and baseball are the big games here, and there is talk of an MLS expansion team if the NFL doesn't decide to bring in someone new.

Your uncle seems to be fairly epxperienced at this and you are just getting into the game, correct?  

It would not hurt to let the tenants know your game plan.

It's just nature of the game.

I have been interested in the investing game plan really all my life but never knew it.

Networking would be amazing at this point in our game.

Hopefully there's no deferred maintenance, or any surprises: you or your PM were on top of their game in fixing things that broke, and the tenant was honest about anything that did break.
