The market is a huge factor in how far design goes but I feel like every one has tried to "out design" each other recently to where it is almost over the top.

If you are constantly loan shopping you will pretty much end up at square one.

is one of those.

I've seen in one of your comments that you are considering out-of-state investing.

My second long term was just purchased via a 1031 exchange after selling our third short term rental. 

@Christle Stezskal Some states have expanded the ban the box law of which Illinois is one. 

I have too many questions for one post, so keeping this post broad and will ask more specific questions in the coming weeks/months.I have a good 6-figure job and some limited real estate investing experience (own one short term rental in the Denver area and recently Airbnb'ed a second property under the rental arbitrage model). 

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

The one that just sold the house next door to yours. 

I am the one who received my rent later not the Mgmt company is this just part of the property management model??
