For roaches if two or more units are infested the landlord could be in violation of the Chicago building code.

If you can manage to flip wholesale deals you should do well...I'm finding it very difficult to find cheap properties though, especially in my favorite zip codes .

There are plenty of single people, childless couples, or single parents with very young children still sleeping in the room with them that will work for the 1-bedroom units.Besides, the top two demographics for this zip code are singles or married couples with no kids, and they total 34% of the population for the area so there's your renter right there.

big forum, reddit, irc, twitter user here.. so aware of the powerful information on discussion sites.My first post was over in starting out.. as I'm excited to learn what others have been doing and hopefully crack the code on owning my own house in DC where the real estate market is bananas.Background: I work in technology security and doing well as the DC Area economy is great. 

I used listsource since it's what all my sources(from books to youtube) recommended.I am currently trying to find pre-foreclosures and tax lien preforeclosures leads using listsource and what I am finding in my market is when I search for properties in my target zip codes (sfr, duplex, triplex, quad) and then select pre-forclosure from the property tab select pre-forclosure my results drop to 0 :/I broadened my search to include all of the Minneapolis areas and I get just 248when I go to the foreclosure tab and select pending auction sale( i was instructed via youtube this is where I'd get people whose houses are headed to tax lien foreclosure but the date of the auction hasn't been set) and set it even a yr out my results are zero!

Most of my mailing goes to code enforcement, probate, etc because those lists have a higher % of distressed sellers.  

If it is a heating duct connected to a register delivering warm air to the living space there is no code for separation.

Its a 3/2 with several code violations, some mold, termites, roof damage and an infestation of bees on one side of the house.

Account ClosedLocation: Only use zip codes interested in areas investing in Equity: 40% or greater.

They are referencing California code 1950.5 but that seems applicable only if a tenant satisfies the lease.
