@Jay RitchieI came across this website which I think could help you: https://www.leadsafechicago.or...If you qualify for the city's programs, you may be able to get it done for free or at a discount.

Ive only handled SFH and small multi-family rehabs, but never dealt with anything on this scale, and have no idea about the associated costs.

Avoid and report him at all costs.

Please feel free to pass out any knowledge/tips for someone very green.

If they disagree, they are free to look for someone else to list instead.

@Stephen FrazierI'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I would strongly recommend against buying something with 100% financing where part of that financing is a HELOCYou will probably just lose moneyIf the home is owned free and clear, maybe the kids would do seller financing? 

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

If it’s feasible, how long might the process take, and what costs could I expect for the necessary permits?

The question is what is the expected cost both in hard expenses and also opportunity cost.
