Lenders generally require you to have at least 3 months of reserves or cash that will pay for mortgage, property taxes, insurance and HOA (if applicable).Most lenders will generally lend on 1-4 units and condos.

You are actually quite fortunate to be considering buying a multi-unit in Chicago.

I also cannot imagine companies with hundreds of units getting better than 4.9 out of a 5 star rating. 

Is an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) in option for your home?

You can trade that into the US for a 20+ unit 

Seems like he cannot differentiate btwn regular wear and tear and intentional damage/ Paint requirements: Interior walls, ceilings and other exposed surfaces in rental units must be kept smooth, clean, free of flaking, loose or peeling paint, plaster or paper and maintained in a sanitary condition.

Greetings,Here is an update on the current National Commercial Office Real Estate Market in The United States of America as of March 10, 2024:In the challenging landscape of U.S. office sales, a potential bright spot is that sales activity may have reached the cycle low.

So, even if your lease states that the tenant is to make a repair, if it makes the unit uninhabitable the LAW will hold YOU responsible not the tenant.

@Amador Abreu  I  am not sure you will get any money out of him for storage but you could just charge a price comparable to a storage unit.

You don't want to start a relationship to learn about storage units and then find out they only invest in single-family homes.3.
