I would try the bigger pockets calculators for buying a rental, and also a rent vs. buy calculator you can find online. 

That's a big red flag for me.I would deal with the roaches and then get rid of the long-term tenant as soon as legally possible.

There was a group trying to take legal action for the Cosmos project, I'm sure a similar group will start up for this project as well.I have a family member who had a unit, I still haven't spoken to him though.

I am wondering if there is an easy way in Cook County to find the amount of legal units in a multifamily property without pulling a zoning certificate.My situation:I have a property that is being marketed as a 5 unit, 3 units main & 2 units coach house.

Are there any course online or offline that you can recommend?

We bought our first flip house at a live auction from Williams & Williams, I was the only person there but bidding against 4 other online buyers, the auctioneer took bids in an earpiece then announced them and looked at me to indicate it was my turn to bid.

When the time comes will use online services to market the units.

If you want legal access to MLS to run your business, it is easy enough to just get licensed. 

I didn't use a realtor, but bought at an online auction, in this case Hubzu.  

I read a few articles online but would like to hear from you guys.Thanks in advance!
