We need local property investors to come to the Joliet Land Use Committee to fight a plan to conduct rental inspections of ALL SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS.

If I were your tenant you would have a fight on your hands and possibly a vacant unit out of spite.There is no reason you should not be able to find a good used one on Craig's list a couple of years old for half the price or less of new. 

Unless you’re local, find an agent there to list it “as is” and take what you can get Put this in the L column and fight another day.   

Until such properties are fighting off potential tenants because of such high demand, I know there is no such thing as an ‘Affordable Housing Crisis!’

I'm not an expert by any means but I do manage between 500-600 apartments and I usually I don't have a lot of fight from a tenant when I deduct from their Deposit.

Investors are now stuck with a shell that is not rentable, can't be sold on the open market anywhere close to the price they bought it for, and they can't hire a US based attorney without spending at least another $10k to fight ABC.After much deliberation, ABC recently offered to buy it back for the same amount, but have not filled out the contract fully, have not presented any estimation of closing costs to the investor, and have not allowed the investor to be represented. 

Then that next deal will come even easier.But here's the thing my green grasshopper..You will most likely not get anywhere if you ask other people "how do you get sellers", because honestly, unless someone says "get a website" you are fighting a losing battle. 

They have less of a leg to fight you than you have to fight them since it is known that they never went on the roof. 

First of all, a buyer's agent representing you is almost always paid by the seller's side (aka free service to you), so wouldn't be a great bonus to have someone who's on your side fighting the good fight for you.

ACH, where we charge $1)It's an ongoing fight with my operations manager.
