That condo association KNEW they had structural issues, but delayed / chose not to fix them. 

Reevaluate if/when interest rates drop, more local issues get resolved etc. 

Considering the building is still legally set up as condos and they are rented at much above market rates, I'm wondering if I could still demand $1.4 million for it?

But you can use other lease option strategies, such as the cooperative assignment.As for Wisconsin and lease options, from a legal perspective they are a viable strategy. 

@Tom Server most states only require a separate account for ALL security deposits one holds.Of course, this is NOT legal advice and check with a competent attorney.

Sometimes the issue is they just need something they can use their loan on and a lot of our options are fully renovated and priced over their reach or need so much work.

great insight. i suppose i was focused on the positives of continuity but didnt consider any potential issues or large market swings. thank you!

I know that renting up your investment can be one of the most confusing and nerve-wracking parts of the process (especially in a place with as much bureaucracy and legal hurdles as Chicago) and am more than happy to talk with anyone about that.

You're right about the smoke issue but I think it is a given here in Japan.How about it Leo Mervin Atanacio?
