@William S. lots of large wholesalers and flippers hire assistants that are paid base + commission.Mostly cold calling work though, which is tedious.

Florida has over 1000 people moving in a day, our supply is almost non-existent compared to the past and even condos are giving amazing returns (example: we have a new condo purchased at $270k bringing in $4k a month in short term rental income). 

A double deposit for someone on section 8 can be a lot but there are many programs that assist with deposit help.

What you are speaking to is a great question and I wish that more people would ask it. 

Chicago real estate is moving quickly and it's honestly no surprise rents are too...with less inventory for sale that also means more people are forced to rent, which in my opinion would drive up the rent.  

I like people that have been through good and bad and are still here. 

Here are highlights of the program right from their website:Program Benefits-A 30-year fixed interest rate mortgage loan, several rates and loan options available-Down payment assistance (DPA) 3% to 5% of the loan amount-You do not have to be a first-time homebuyer-DPA provided as a grant (never needs to be repaid) or 3-year deferred forgivable second lien loan-Available statewide through a network of participating lenders.

I know some Boards that only hire a PM to assist with property maintenance and accounting.You need to speak with the board members to determine what responsibilities the PM agreed to.

How can we assist you further?
