We use small community banks for our lending so its not convenient for most of our tenants to drive to those banks.   

With the extremely high demand, I wondered if we were leaving money on the table and my wife got mad at me for being greedy instead of providing a community housing benefit...Between the front house and carriage house, rents increased 12% from prior tenants about a year ago.That said, prices to buy have gone way up too. 

I would suggest you do a search for a local structural engineer in your community.

One of our properties is a triplex in a town <2k but it's in a bedroom community 15 minutes from a city >60k.

Thanks so much for the support and positive messages; great community here! 

I'm interested because there appears to be a sense of community, and even the more dense blocks with lots of large apartment buildings seem well taken care of, also proximity to the expressway and Metra. 

Hi BP Community,This is a hypothetical and something I'd like to consider before investing in a property. 

I understand it's a slightly uncommon situation (or maybe not, it might just be my lack of experience), but I was hoping the great community here would share their opinion on this.

I've been looking into district/communities of north St.

Hello BP community.
