Hi Martin -I was about to post a reply sharing that I’m reading a very good book on note investing where the author targets 30% from non-performing notes.

They eventually left after numerous complaints from the neighbors and visits from the humane society, local housing authority and CPS.

But, the last thing I want to do is lean on him for every... single... question... that I have regarding each issue I'm running into.ProblemSince I just got my license in August, I'm having a difficult time coming from a position of authority (because I obviously don't have any yet) with many of the questions I get asked by my clients and potential clients.

I had to dream for a long time while I search for my building, the thought of surrendering my authority and responsibility is ridiculous.

That has caused many large and well known retailers (Sports authority, Circuit City, Toys R Us) to close shop in recent years.

Higher authority and specific number. 

On your letter put on the bottom "CC: Chicago Housing Authority". 

I wonder if the author is truly ignorant or if they actually know better. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcprosser/2017/07/19/data-proves-reits-are-better-than-buying-real-estate/

Usually that entails obtaining a copy of their business license, insurance, and some other operating agreement type stuff.Also, the contractor you select needs to be OK with waiting until full completion and inspection by the lender before any payment is authorized and released.
