I'll bet 99% would agree with rounding up as a no brainer, effortless way to avoid unintended delays.     

I would also check your comps in rent say go back over the last 5 years and I would bet you are seeing over time increases to your rent in your area due to growth?

I am willing to bet that a house of that size with a Koi pond is in a fairly nice area that’s zoned residential, single-family.

Your best bet is to find your own agent.

While some other NW neighborhoods might be hotter or have higher upside, I feel sticking near Blue line stops will help minimize risk. 

Also I strongly urge you to file a complaint on line with the Attorney General in INdy it takes five minutes and you can do it on line.. 

This seems like it would fit in line with what you are trying to do for your first deal.

I'm in the process of finding my 1st property - targeting a 3BR condo or small multifamily in Chicago (B or B+ neighborhood) that's within walking distance to a Blue or Brown line L stop.

Smaller community banks and credit unions are your best bet.

@Egan LohmanBest bet for data analysis like this is to use the Google Maps API.
