Hi @Brandon Stewart,You actually did better than me. 

The closing date is coming up next week and the current property is not insured yet.

I didn't see where it says what date she moved in with him and when the townhome became a rental. 

Learn how much time and money actually goes into a project.

If we're talking about actual house-hacking in NYC, maybe you want to explore small multifamily homes within 30-40 min commute to your future office.

This can tell me a lot about the age of the plumbing, roof, HVAC, etc before actually walking it.Here is a rule of thumb I use for my market of Jacksonville FL:Light Cosmetic($40-$50 x Sq.

If you actually talk to code enforcement people most will say the rate of problems is the same or worse for local owners.

Adding to @Bruce Woodruff: I found this on the Illinois Government website: "If your change decreases the tax due to Illinois and you want a refund, you must file an amended return (claim for overpayment) within three years after the extended due date, three years after the date your original return was filed, or one year after the date your Illinois tax was paid, whichever is latest."

There is only 1 way which may be quicker and legal and while it hurts pride and defies all reason of fairness you could always tell him you’ll give the deposit back if he just leaves by a certain date and leaves the house in good shape.  

If you're not local or don't have a local team, You can actually spend more time tracking down good people long distance than someone local.
