And can you tell me your experience with them.

I wanted to see if anyone has experience with rent by room?

It's been great as a noise monitor (and I can also see temperature readings which are verifiable and solid).

Often newer investors want things to cashflow and cover their mortgage, but the riches in real estate (in my opinion) are in GAINING EXPERIENCE......so consider just finding a property where if you were to rent in the same neighbhorhood your mortgage is less than that amount (less rental income as well) - that to me is a win period...Are you looking at any specific areas of chicago?

Has anyone had experience with these? 

@Todd Hutcheson I've been calling lots of landlord on Facebook and Craigslist, but haven't seen a ton of success from it yet, but it is definitely great experience.

And I have read similar posts before of some thinking it is discriminatory.

Does anyone have experience with card operated machines?

Quote from @Russell Brazil: I've seen in the last few weeks 90, 65, 42, and 35 offer situations.I just priced one of my listings about 10% higher than it should have been, and still got 7 offers and it escalated just shy of 10% over list, to end at about 20% above comps.Your experience would indicate this is more like a shift in market dynamics, right?
