For online ads, I completely agree with not exposing the exact address, but just the nearest intersection.

Would anyone recommend this route for an out of state investor such as myself?

That will all make your payment higher and make it more difficult to cash flow.If you want to put the property into the LLC, though, the best route is to get the loan through the LLC.

I researched the quickbooks route and found some people who wished they stayed with Excel due to QB over complicating things.  

A 10-unit building financed making 10% cash on cash annually VS10 single houses paid for in cash making 18% cash on cash annually I want to obviously go the 18% route but if ask myself why do I go this route when all the big players buy bigger buildings?

It's also right along the LRT (light rail transit) train route, so it's easily accessible from the areas of the city serviced by the LRT.And finally, I have a nice little condo that's available right now (putting it on the market later this week) that's about a 15-minute commute from Southgate.

Most of the PRs will keep the letters until it's time to sell the house to an investor if they're going that route.

Regardless of what answers you get to your question you are going to have to get a pre-qual letter from a lender if you want to go the conventional financing route.  

I would recommend to focus on East side Aurora i.e. towards Naperville (near rout 59 and around Fox Valley).

There are a couple of run down buildings and a not-so-nice apartment building just south of that house (and a liquor store at the intersection between Wheeling and Rosewood -- not horrible by any means; but you just don't get a "neighborhood vibe" right there.
