Update: found some that was tax delinquent for almost 30 yrs (ridiculous).

To be clear and ridiculously redundant, we do not wish to have a negative relationship with our landlords.

We walked through the house (on the same day it was listed – thanks again Matt for being so proactive) and I basically told my wife I wouldn’t want the house unless we got a ridiculously good deal because of the completely unusable floor plan.

A great flip would've been if you had gotten the property for a ridiculous deal, because the deal just has to be like that to be very workable.

That sounds ridiculous of course, so why is the idea of regulating STR considered so crazy? 

Having to pay title insurance when you buy a home, and then 6 months later after we flip it always seemed so ridiculous to me.Is there a market for my buddy to charge reasonable rates in Cook County?

Quote from @LeeAnn Owens: do your research, it doesn’t actually keep up with increasing costs of housing and other necessities Please indicate an employment sector that HAS kept up with the ridiculous inflationary increases over the last three years. 

This is beyond ridiculous.  

From the ridiculously high cost of qualified/competent GC labor in the Bay Area, of course! 

Four days to write up the offer is ridiculous unless the guy was hit by a bus on his way home to write up the offer.
