Like Steve's meetings, there are lots of people of varying experience levels.

Illinois is not a particularly landlord friendly state and varies by county.

I know that it appears to vary state by state, but even reviewing individual state policies, it continues to be cloudy.

Sales and selling techniques vary across the marketing realm of everything there is out there.Let me give you this quick example: Weight Watchers.

The 5 year balloon seems to vary from lender to lender.

I know the answer will vary based on location, price-range, size of the complex etc... so perhaps a few mock scenario descriptions would be helpful.(2) One of the BP Podcasts (I believe it was between shows 1 and 70...I know that's not very helpful), the guest was talking about the very detailed and length lease agreement that he has with his tenants and that he had placed it either here on BP or his company's website.

I'd suggest discussing with your attorney as state laws vary.

Also you need to know the rules which vary by area.

If it helps, yes I am a licensed Realtor and I am in Indiana (figured it probably wouldn't vary much from state to state).Any information, however little, that would point me in the right directions would be IMMENSELY appreciated.Cheers

Some from last year and others are miles away (over 1 mile), the year built also varies.
