There is no laundromat south of the river despite having many rental units in the area which likely do not have in-unit laundry.There is a business space of some 2700 sq ft for sale at the river and the state route through town.

I spaced off ordering appliances and cost us a week of market time.

Without question all the duplexes are easier to manage and as a group easier collectively than the time drain and issues I have faced on the larger properties.I will go as far as stating that the duplex space is ideal for the beginner investor (think smaller bites, diversification).   

However, renters want a washer/dryer, dishwasher, storage space, and a yard (in my area). 

Any experience or other ideas with what to do with the space would be appreciated.

Assuming you are doing a drywall ceiling you need to ventilate this space some how and treat it like a crawl space, is one option. 

Hi everyone, Currently I am remote to the suburban Chicagoland market, but I'm looking to get connected with others who are active in the multifamily space in the NW Suburbs.Are there any good, active communities that are meeting regularly that you'd recommend? 

AND you can own that space, then get out there and get it! 

Keep in mind if you need to do work like waterproof the crawl space that could cost several grand, and factor that into the price.
