I've decided to increase the rent however plan to wait until July 1st as I will be out of the country shortly after purchasing and do not want to deal with a moving tenant while I am gone.  

Unit 3 is unsure how long but is planning on staying as well.Property Taxes: $6215 ( one of the highest tax rates in the country I believe )With an FHA we're planning on putting 5% (8k)down and calculate closing costs to be around $3500All separate hookups.

He's extremely well-versed in VA loans, and spent 8 years as a marine also serving our country, so you know he's got your back and won't let you down.

I do question your  $147k repair budget as I live in one of the highest cost of living areas in the country and it would be incredibly hard for me to spend that amount on a high end renovation on a large property.

As you know the eviction process is cook county IL is among the longest in the country, if you can get them out within six months count your blessings.

I was having a brief online discussion with @Jay Hinrichs about the regional differences in real estate throughout the country.  

This has help to lead to a compression of the middle class in this country over the last 14 years. 

The reason was that they were young doctors from another country doing a fellowship program in the United States.

There are wide disparities in tax rates around the country.

Thank you for serving our country.
