Here are links to properties my clients have purchased https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/chicagobr...https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/chicagobr...That will give you a good idea of what to expect

I already have an LLC from a previous consulting business, though it's currently "administratively resolved", a simple fix by filing the state fees.

All the entities will file taxreturn though.  

I cannot say that I can recommend them because although the October situation was not caused by their action but by a situation with their payment processor, and they have switched from using ACH payment processors to a direct bank relationship, their communication about the problem was *horrible*, there are still many landlords trying to get their rent money, and the process to do so is time consuming and requires the tenant to file a form with their bank.  

May have room to build something else on it later.Here is the home inspection:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9xo5LHfwd6GcnRvR...Roof and structure look good. 

County has the most recent document filed as a TDI filed 5 years ago.

I'm trying to understand the process of filing with the City in order to bring an illegal apartment up to code.

My tenants in California have filed for divorce. 

With your background in construction why not get a cash investor or hard money lender involved and take down the deal yourself?

Personally, this is where I would get a GC involved.
