I like to see my clients "buy equity" by getting something that needs a little TLC.

The tenant is completely agitated and is becoming difficult with his tone.

@Brad Penley some suggestions I always try to get my client to take when buying a property that will require flood insurance due to your loan is, 1) make sure you understand if the property has ever had a flood, If so what year and how the water got in the structure and if the damage was repaired, also good to know how much the claim that was paid.

@Devin Londo , getting $1,000 cash flow per month with 500k Invested is really not difficult in Chicago.

Difficult to manage, consistent late, professional tenants, longer vacancies and evictions are all too common.

My clients are seeing many more price reduction alerts than new listing alerts in the emails they receive due to rates rising and seasonal timing. 

Acquiring 6 rental properties in 1 year isn't easy.It doesn't look like you will be slowing down anytime soon so I would look for an accountant who is well versed in real estate taxation.You may want to ask him how many of his clients are real estate investors. 

Hey all, I'm trying to find the owner of an Illinois property and it's proving more difficult at the first attempt than here in WI.  

For example, termination clause typcailly makes it difficult for landlord to terminate but super simple for the management firm.

For those of whose clients use PM.Do you have any say who the owners use?
