Selling real estate is often not a smooth easy process otherwise agents wouldn't have a function in the process. 

or fully functioning.. 

As with any other investment property, you need to properly screen potential teanants.

The question is whether you can properly screen them and what level of risk they present.

They have some overlapping functions and Flipster honestly seems to offer the most but I hear a lot of buzz about Propstream.

I believe you can have tenants submit their maintenance requests through there as well, but I am not using that function yet.

I tried something similar to this when I put LVT in and could not get it to fit properly per the directions. 

From my understanding so far, an LLC is helpful in that it offers tax advantages and asset protection (if handled properly).

Her term might be a little confusing, but it's functional enough (coin something better, anyone?).

Living in the Chicagoland area, multifamily units in Chicago proper are an investor's go-to but I don't necessarily want to deal with Chicago/Cook taxes and duplex/multifamily building stock is dramatically lower in the suburbs so might go single family home in DuPage or Will.
