Very crowded but I did get to meet a few people and pick up some good information.  

While this property breaks the rules we've set for our analysis/purchase criteria, I wonder if it makes sense to build a relationship with an investor looking to offload a number of properties over the coming years (as we look to pick up more and more properties).

So if an appraiser picks a 1920 house as a comp even though the subject property was built in 05 (had this happen to me last year), they are required to give you more than 10k in an adjustment.

I think the good wholesalers know how to generate a large volume of leads and are able to pick and choose the best ones to present to their investor relationships.

Also...perhaps commit to picking a different market before you ask, so that your inquiry is non-threatening?

What scares me off a little is the proximity to Maywood, which is not the best area.I do agree that the area will pick up soon, it's a short commute to the city and Oak Park is pretty expensive.

I have written "if there is a conflict the landlord reserve the right to pick the correct statement that applies"  For example, I might want to mention in my addendum about how many overnight guests etc.Thanks!

That's awesome that you can pick up both places.
