I know you hate losing earnest money, but imagine closing and finding a lot of expensive repairs on this house.  

I would imagine any strong Chicago lease would be fine, but the CAR is something we do. 

I would imagine they wouldn't be too appreciated of that and would put up a fight although they signed a legal contract to sell for $x.I had actually put a nice lot under contract (I was going to close under my name as normal) from an owner that was doing a FSBO.

So imagine how many of me there are out there you will be calling where you are wasting both my and your time.  

I imagine there are still a large number of “mom and pop” hosts who had no idea there were taxes or a permit needed who’ll be weeded out, but they prop weren’t our competition anyway  ;-) Good luck! 

There are many strategies to investing in real estate, and I won't say any one is better than another, but I think you get what you pay for and no one wakes up in the morning wanting to be a slumlord.

Imagine never being able to buy anything again!

My mind imagined it being $50-100k even at most.

If this system is not out there, I would imagine there would be strong demand for the first person to create a operating system solely for real estate investors.Cheers!

I imagine it's similar to St Louis but I'd be willing to bet it has more going for it and better appreciation.Happy to share some resources, learnings, and even history/performance of my rentals I've had for 5+ years.
