This is usually still a pain but easier than changing the actual zoning. 

These are just a few issues unique to Chicago southside that I see daily as other peoples pain points with other PMs in the area.  

If you work a full-time job, or are not ready for the pain it takes to completely renovate a property (it is even worse remotely) then Turnkey is a great option.Ideally, the Turnkey Provider will own, renovate, and manage the property for you in house!

@Donald ShaverI can feel your pain.

But I hear your pain.

Pain in the a$$ and where do you store tons of units worth of appliances?

Sorry nothing useful to add here other than “I feel your pain” :)

But with Diane on this post her market is an outlier for sure.. and the only time I have seen it really crater and I lived through its pain believe me.. was when we had the big earthquake and war at the same time that put Northern CA into a pretty deep recession.. but it was regionalized.. and She is right properties especially on the high end did devalue by 50% from 1990 to 1993 ish ..

The transition will likely be painful. 

@Daniel JarvisI feel your pain.
