My husband and I are looking at doing an off the market deal on a multi-unit (two flat) on the north side of Chicago with a non-conforming garden unit.

A new, expensive apartment in a hip area may be one you want to re-decorate  interiors frequently to keep it fresh, while an older property in workforce housing is more focused on clean and functional over style.

I am looking to start fresh.

I don’t mind the colors but with STR it’s gotta look fresh and clean.

Clean, fresh data will lead to success, guaranteed.  

They won’t be expecting the same money as their neighbors with the shiny new kitchen and fresh paint.Both lists can be mixed with Absentee Owners if you don't want to put all your faith in owner occupied - and can be customized with property type and home value along with other limiting factors.Good luck!  

Just end the lease and start fresh.

Usually you’re not allowed to use “fresh” deposits of course the deposits also could have been word directly to the closing account instead of through your bank first. 

I know its not as "clean and fresh" as "paper notes" you could by elsewhere, but oh well.

@Val Jaz start with a fresh lease.
