I don’t think well maintained, well run properties that have rents at or close to market value should ever be that difficult to sell.

The landlord is required to repair EVERYTHING!

Since they can't do each property individually, they use comparable sales to make broad generalizations to determine percent changes.

You still have to disclose the right to assign in the contract.  

Here's a link to the data: https://mred.stats.10kresearch.com/infoserv/s-v1/vwxv-Zs5What this data shows at a Macro level is that the Chicago market is doing fine, but the market is too large to use that data to make any decisions about where you want to house hack.

My full-time gig is to invest in income-producing websites (digital real estate) and I'm working backwards to first increase the authority of my website to then eventually rank organically in Google.Given my experience building sites, I personally don't think SEO is as complicated as any agency makes it out to be.

Can anyone recommend a company that offers a builders risk policy to cover the construction period but then will also allow a cancellation and refund after work is finished to convert into a standard landlord policy.  

They differ from less than $100k to north of $200k With ARVs in the $100k to $200k range finding lenders to do cash out refinances should not be difficult at all.

I only brought 3.5% down to closing and the seller paid 3% CCA which I used to buy down my rate to 4.8%.   

The easiest way to get around this is to figure out how much the property would cash flow using the "rental property calculator."
