If you keep the rents artificially low, your taxes, insurance and cost of maintenance and capex will continue to rise.

Many ancillary services such as snow removal, lawn service, electrician, etc. will only cover certain areas of the city.Do you even want rental properties or focus on house flipping alone?

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I know sellers typically inflate the price artificially because of the lower interest rate but it still seemed reasonable based on comps. 

Residential purchase and coop (TIC) to sell off some of asset to reduce investment to artificially reduced amount (Resulting equity at far less than value).  

This is especially true for small things like painting, fixing leaky faucets, and mowing the lawn.

I have two properties in the Beverly/Morgan Park area and am curious if anyone has experience with rentals in Oak Lawn.

I have a 3 bed, 3 bath house that we have grown out of and could just rent it out and buy another one, but it has a 1 acre lawn and a swimming pool and I worry about renting a large yard with a pool.What advice would anyone throw out?
