However, this is a sweet deal for a first home buyer with great upgrades.

It needs:New roofSidingNew kitchenWood floorsNew driveway New bathroomNew windowsAdd bathroom in the basement but no need to finish the basement High hats throughout house New boiler Reposition door from side to the front since there was no real front door Upgrade electrical panel this is projected to be a 100k rehab for a house in a cheaper area and I just want to know if that sounds relatively accurate or too high. 

The asking price is great with new upgrades.

Brokers in my state have to have two years of experience plus more state-mandated education in order to “upgrade” to a broker’s license.

Purchase price: $525,000 Upgraded from our Condo (which we are renting in Lincoln Park) to our first two-flat in Roscoe Village.

With the 3rd tenant asking for a fence, I typically let them know I will to install a fence (or any other upgrade that I'm not ready to do that will increase value) if and when the lease is renewed. 

The other side still needs upgrading but has a great long term tenant so I've held off.

In my experience when a tenant refuses to let you in to make upgrades or improvements they are hiding something usually.

You need to either be moving (due to orders, etc.) 50 miles away or more, or upgrading to a larger home due to a growing family, etc.

I first gained access through my MLS then upgraded to their premium service.
