Anyways, I've told them that I would pay for repairs in the future on this new fence, but I am not paying for this new fence which was completely unnecessary.

If anyone is interested in reviewing my overly complicated spreadsheet for input please send me your email address. 

If your application form asks applicants to disclose their criminal histories,  As of December 31, 2019, Cook County Must provide their tenant selection criteria along with the rental application to the tenant and landlords must approve conditionally based on their credit before requesting a criminal history and consider only the last three years of any convictions.The ordinance is a bit complicated and needs explanation.

What Mark is looking for on that one is a little more complicated, and if that is the house you're looking at it's very far from great condition.. it could be rented as is.

I have also considered as another option, refinancing the property with a friend who has a W2 but that complicates the ownership of the asset.

Its much more nuanced and complicated that just hiring a title company and a contractor to fix a house. 

I don't consider myself a property investor, and as a busy new mom can't find the time to educate myself as much as I know I should about this complicated topic.We bought our condo in 2016 about a year before we (unexpectedly) moved overseas so it was not intended to be a rental or investment property for us.

It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.
