@Jon Klaus I think the juries still out on what the rules are going to be.

The addendum over rules any conflicts it has with the contract.

But real estate is a relationship business, so unless you want to make unnecessary enemies (and local RE agents are very quick to make enemies), just learn the rules of the game and keep playing it.Btw...

(Where reasonable, the landlord may permit changes only if you agree to restore the property to its original condition when you move.)Refuse to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices or services if necessary for the disabled person to use the housing.They do not state you are required to take someone as a tenant if they have a disability.

If you've never invested in Chicago before, you should know about some of the special rules for being a landlord there, like the Chicago RLTO (Residential Landlord-Tenant Ordinance).

Hi all,First time posting here - as a landlord who has been renting my condo in the City of Chicago for the last six years to the same tenant, things were going ok until this year, but now they are behind and won't even talk to me to come up with a favorable agreement - I have been very patient with them, but finding out now that being a 'good guy' doesn't pay off....I am looking into eviction now, and in my case I want to work with an attorney (even though the process looks ok to be done w/o one, but I want to make sure I am doing everything right, since I am finding out that the Chicago Ordinance is a lot different than any other city/county rules)I narrowed my list down to these two attorneys, has anyone worked with any one of them?

The #1 Rule to real estate is Location, Location, Location.

Also shows a cash flow of ~200-300 a month.If anyone has a more applicable formula or forecasting equation than the 50% rule I would love to see it.

I am using a SDIRA and all the legal advice I got sounds like you are on safe standing, assuming the 401K falls under the same rules.
