I am in the process of closing on a 5-unit property in Pilsen/Heart of Chicago very close to Harrison Park.After closing, I will need property management to manage the building. 

I have used several title companies and have the following requirements:  1) easy to work with, 2) make me a priority and move the process efficiently, 3) good communication, 4) competitive fees, and 5) mobile close service.If you are military or have someone in the direct family who is/was you might consider One Nation Title (formerly First Republic). 

Then they do a quick conversion to condos in two years and raises the property value.Such buyers are most likely buying on emotions because they are purely looking for a nice home to live (not cash flow), possibly buying in that location because of proximity to family or about to start a family, etc; so they will pay top dollar.  

The idea of having a small-footprint is appealing and live/work/play developments are very appealing.This is very general of course, and you know your market, but think through the process... who's renting the apartments?

I feel as though upon coming back they will frown upon our hiatus, and it will prolong the approval process for a loan.

I'm newbie,  I made a offer on a short sale then I found out that the process could take very long, so I decided to look for another property, as a first timer, should I leave that short sale offer open and and start another property?

For the most part after reading quite a bit of forum post, listening to Podcasts, reading blog post, and a few articles I'm familiar with the process.

I'm very green at this and I am in the process of submitting an offer on my 1st probate deal so forgive my innocence if this question sound very mundane. 

During all this process i have spent a lot of money to do home inspection, paying the seller a option fee, paying the earnest deposit.

As a result and from a tax planning perspective, individuals will process partial Rothconversions each year and higher amounts in years that they don't have high earned income earnings because the amount converted from the IRA to the Roth IRA is included in your taxable income for the year of Roth conversion.
