I just need a valid contract for IL and need to evaluate for Power Team members, who will be a good fit for my business.  

I have made money both ways and consider both valid investments.If your employer offers a 401(k) match, I would put as much as you need to into their program to get the entire match.

If you drive it over can you charge for gas?

thank you all so much for the advice, and validation.

Their lease is valid and you inherited it.

But these are valid points to be considered prior to jumping in.

Your thoughts on screening tenants are very valid.  

Another of my concerns is that it doesn't spell out a time-frame or specific properties for which this is valid.

And as for my husband, he works for a company that has him driving all over to service gas stations, and on top of that, he's a volunteer firefighter, and also has his real estate license in IL.  

The execution of a management agreement must be conducted by a person who is licensed.An individual may conduct auctions of real estate without a real estate license if he is properly licensed by the Louisiana Auctioneer Licensing Board.The LREC has the authority, by law, to issue subpoenas, and may impose a civil penalty of no more than $5,000 upon any unlicensed person who, after a hearing is found to have engaged in real estate activity without the benefit of a currently valid license.In addition, the LREC may assess costs and attorney fees against the unlicensed person found to have been engaged in real estate activity without a current license.No person engaged in real estate activity without a currently valid license shall have the right to receive any compensation for services so rendered.
