Are there any good accountants in Chicago that service real estate investors?

They would then report that information back to Equifax.Experian is the newest credit bureau, buying out the famous TRW Information Services, which was the largest credit bureau at the time.

If the OP is servicing the note himself (or, rather, his LLC is the servicer), wouldn't he need to send a notice of transfer of service?

I'm going to be using Cozy to have prospective tenants apply so that I can use their screening services.

I can provide a turn-key service as well. 

do they have a lease up fee and what do their maintenance people charge,and do they keep books for you.

REI brings a lot of my skills into play: building construction and maintenance, dealing with people.

If you are renting you can have the agent waive the rental commission in order to provide the services I agree with my colleagues a real estate agent is your best option in a moment like this.

I have now sent two carefully and succinctly worded emails reminding them that, as stated in the lease, we will mow the lawn but any other maintenance or improvements are up to them if they want them done, and we request that they consult us for any major changes (like if they want to take out a tree). 

The tax " penalty" will probably service the debt difference on two singles over a duplex and .you get better tenants.
