To be honest, on over 100 building permits last year in the City of Chicago, with many of them having some form of enclosed porch, I think only 2 were ever mentioned by the Department of Zoning where they brought it up as a "Concern" which led us on a wild goose chase of finding and sharing information, overally causing unnecessary delay to the permit review process and eventually coming to a close (some positive, some negative).

Thanks for Replying, Carolina,My credit score is close to 800 (shouldnt be a problem) last time I checked few months ago and property is long term rental producing good return.

Co-op broker fees have been diminishing over the last few years, and I think it will accelerate.  

Last week former owner filed appeal in district court.

Unfortunately, real estate is often messy so I can't say I'm too surprised, so I'll do what I can to talk through each thing.The rate float is not uncommon, as we've seen the 10 year treasury fluctuate a bit the last month or so, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had originally quoted something (guessing low 7s?)

., etc.  ...and, my impression is that they're also opposites in terms of the mindsets of the investors (e.g.; many RE investors have comparatively longer time horizons, and I would assume that most RE investors have a lower tolerance for risk).I'm a RE investor, and don't have any crypto, but I have plenty of friends who hold a lot of crypto, and we've discussed crypto endlessly...At the risk of sounding like a luddite, even after years of discussions and reading countless articles, I still don't feel like I have a good understanding of crypto.  ...and frankly, I'm skeptical of people who claim to have a thorough understanding of it (yet, there are no shortage of self-proclaimed "experts" who describe crypto with the confidence of someone predicting a sunrise!)

My question is - How will an appraiser appraise the property without there being any duplex/triplex's sold within the last year?

As an owner of one rental property, I found out that I was/am supposed to send a 1099 to a contractor who did some work for us on our rental property last year, and file a 1099 on that same contractor with the federal government.

The median sale price skyrockets by an impressive 15.6%, reaching a staggering $630,000.
