Having them just incase of any inconvenience can be extremely clutch.

It has been extremely frustrating though because it has forced my buyer to make a cash play rather than capitalize on the low interest rates that we were planning to take advantage of when we got them under contact when we were planning for these homes to be finished last year.

But we have hail, tornadoes, and "Snowmagetton" as we called the fun we had here in Texas last month with the extreme cold and snow.

But a very motivated seller with a property that hasn't sold for 6 months might be extremely motivated and give you all of the above: low rate, flexible terms, and a steep discount.Always ask.  

I rehab houses too, and when the appraiser comes over, they get an extremely detailed list of all the things we did to improve the house - especially those that aren't visible like electric and plumbing.I also work with my agent to price it reasonably based on comps.

The second round of PPP loans are vital for every teal estate investors to take advantage.The new tax credits also passed in the most recent stimulus bill are extremely helpful to the real estate community!

This is extremely helpful, and will definitely take a look through those links @Michael Plaks, think these are exactly what I'm looking for as well.Thank you all again!

I  had to offer the happy clause (you are not happy here move out no penalty) to one tenant where he kept complaining to me the other tenant was walking too loud and he would leave nasty notes in her mailbox. 

Chicago is EXTREMELY neighborhood and block specific, so the data can skew quite easily. 

(tuition, rent, and stuff like that are all covered by either scholarship or my parents helping pay for it, which I am extremely grateful for).
