I'm assuming you're referring to residential (SF and MF) properties that are vacant, is that correct?

Now sometimes I would get a credit for a new lead but you have to write a detailed explanation every time I would ask for refund and wouldn't always get it rewarded. 

If you're comfortable taking on more effort for bigger rewards, BRRRR might be the way to go.From a tax perspective, BRRRR may be better because you can potentially benefit from accelerated depreciation on the property, which can help reduce your taxable income and give you a bigger tax advantage compared to a turnkey property.

.* In my world (Bank) a "Foreclosure" is a property/loan that has a filed notice (Often referred to as first legal) that a foreclosure has commenced and is somewhere in the foreclosure process between first legal and sale (or post sale redemption).

Here's the terms:FOR VALUE RECEIVED, XXXXX a limited liabilitycompany (hereinafter referred to as "Maker*), hereby promises to pay to MY NAME,whose address is redacted (hereinafter referred to as"Holder"), or order, the principal sum of $XXX,000.00 in legal tender of the United States, accruing interest at an annual rate of 18.0%.

Not sure what suburbs you are referring to, but I have a lot of clients that are very successful investing in areas like McHenry, Woodstock, Elgin, Antioch, Mundelein, Belvedere, etc. 

Both laws use the same terms, but define them in completely different ways.I find it best to reference HUD's guidance memos on the subject.https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/AsstAnimalsGui...https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUDAsstAnimalN...https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/FHEO/documents/19ServiceAni...

For future reference, there are some threads about them here on BP.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Steve K.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

In real estate (and probably other industries) this is referred to as a Single Purpose Entity, and it's usually a smart move.
