I've got to replace about 40' of sewer line out to the street at my rental in Orland Park.

I can’t run a background check… And what about the rental agreement?

Recommend Googling for recent projects, then looking them up at the city's online site to find out who the architects are.

These "bandit" signs are everywhere in NYC and I have yet to ever come across someone who has called them to actually sell their property - most people I know have looked up something online and landed on an option through that route. 

So I've been looking to purchase a rental since the beginning of this year, but I've run into a couple obstacles.

They create some online content and a FB group with all the victims and some of their admin people and sell these courses (docs)  for a huge fee. 

Sale price: $325,000 Bought my first property 2020 for my primary residence and was able to purchase another property in 2024.Moved into the new property and converted my 2020 property into a rental.

Second is the ongoing rental stream.You will always "numerically" make more money developing/renting versus buying/renting. 

We are not currently interested in buying rental properties locally, due to how crazy tenant laws are in California.

I also purchased a home close to your rental.
