I need some some advice, I lived in Chicago when I was a kid and I visited the city last summer after 20 years, me and my wife really liked Chicago.

I will highlight my 2 cents as a 15-year LL veteranDennis M from Erie makes a solid point - $500 deposit will not cover the extensive damage that a pet can do and the repair work that may need to take care of.So YES - you can get a little more money with non refundable deposits, or deposits, or higher rent.BUT actually keeping that money at the end of the day is hard to do.One thing no one has mentioned - that is that good prop mgt requires regular consistent checking in on the property - even better when you can drop in on a repair when they are not home or not prepared for your visit.

Better is if you have an address of a building you like you can visit the location where it was approved by the buildings department and most often they will have the plans.

I recently went to visit Detoit and found it to be a nice, friendly city with a lot to do.

They are assuring me that I HAVE to pay full title insurance for each one closing. 

I will reach out to someone there next time I’m visiting my properties.
