Or else reduce enough on price to deal with an eviction from an illegal unit.I don't know Chicago laws, but in NYC if you have an illegal unit, the tenant occupying it seems to have more rights than the owner does and doesn't have to pay rent... 

I believe in SLC, they are still requiring the owner to live in the main house (meaning you don't have to be there, but you can't rent it) for you to use the ADU for anything else.

If it's one dead mouse and nothing else, throw it in the garbage and call it a day.

If you want to be completely self-sufficient, you're willing to build an Earthbag home or another building that can be earthquake proofed but can still be run without public utilities, you can spend a ton of money on a well and can have that well water processed to remove contaminated mine crap, you have a great off-road vehicle and you can figure out how to deal with the flooding without redirecting that water onto someone else's land then you can definitely live there.If it's an Investment you're after, give that up.

Here is a guide for our water company that walks you through it:  https://www.portland.gov/water/water-efficiency-programs/fin...I'm guessing it would be pretty similar for you, and if you determine that there is a leak by looking at the meter, then you may want to hire the leak detection company.As someone else pointed out, maybe just ask your tenants as well if any toilets are running or "ghost flushing" or if they have noticed any drips.Good luck!

Happy to chat if you're want to see what else is out there.

Something that will work in one market will not work well in another market due to maybe oversaturation, consumers, and anything else you can name.  

If DTI is a problem for a new investment property loan but you have everything else (credit, downpayment, etc), then DSCR loans are probably an excellent alternative.

Anyone else reading this post.  

Once you've re-read what I mean by CPM- who else out there has developed their own CPM, or who else out there sees the need for a separate PM strategy for coliving properties?
