I am seeking a very experienced Residential Construction Manager in the Greater Chicago Area.   If someone knows of a person who is qualified please let me know.  I have 4 projects ready to go now and at least 25 more...

@Jason Kern I have a few attorneys, one firm handles transactional law related to purchase agreements and loan agreements (actually I use three different firms for this depending on where the property is), another firm handles my syndication legal which includes PPMs, subscription agreements and operating agreements, and I have another firm for general business law. 

I briefly had my own one man firm going for a hot minute back in the 00's and quickly decided it was a lot of extra work (having to make sure you file all the various forms, maintain a 100% perfect trust account, etc and if you make even an honest mistake and get caught, then its all on you and its not good!)

Lot of fist fights in the driveway, kicking each other's cars, cousins and friends getting into fights with them, and at one time I think they were boarding a fugitive because about a dozen cops swarmed on the house (I was watching my surveillance cameras in horror) and grabbed some guy that was running from them and hauled him away in handcuffs.My neighbors think my tenants are drug dealers.

Be happy for them when they get engaged, get a new job, even when they move.When making repairs, don't default to the cheapest fix- put in the nicer stove, shower head, whatever it is, they notice and appreciate it.Trash day is Tuesday, and I typically drive by our rentals that day and haul in trash and recycle bins- small thing but even the neighbors notice this one!

The banks agent came back and said 130k FIRM!  

I know a pure option needs a firm strike price.

I'd be surprised if your vacancy and maintenance combined are only 10% for the long haul.

If I don't want to be the PM or I am not doing a good job, we could hire a local firm.

I rented a locker at Public Storage (first month $1 special), had movers haul it away, sent a letter to the love shack saying "here's where your s**t is.
