Does anyone have access to the 2020 Residential Lease provided by the Chicago Association of Realtors?

I have not responded to their inquiry but from the assessors information alone the value of the home is $145k (2300 sqft) and did I forget to mention it’s on 19 acres and has access to a beautiful creek.

@Michael Noto, @Mathew Allen, @Ryan Luby, code requires the following:Must be at least 70 sq ft, minimum 7ft in each directionCeiling height of at least 7ftDirect access from a hallway or communal space (not from another bedroom)Second means of egress; either a door directly outside or a window at least 20" (H) x 24" (w)Proper lighting and ventilation; usually window(s) that is at least 8% of wall areaAt least 2 electrical outletsPermanent heat source that can maintain 68 degrees (space heaters don't count)Curiously, closets are not required by code, but a generally expected by tenants.

Avoid the biggies like foundations, termite damage (unless it's easy to access and fix), mold / lead paint / asbestos remediation, full kitchen/bath remodels, etc. 

As you build your network you will have much better access to be able to build your company/business.  

In my 5 or 6 years of access to this website on a full time basis, I have never heard that the interest rate matters on any deal, just know what you'll be paying when you do an evaluation or figure the worst case scenario. 

Some of the investors we work with have a lot of trouble as well with the owner portal and accessing ledger data.

You can also buy properties with the help of private lenders and credit partners (meaning, other people use their credit to get the mortgage for you - again, this is a form of creative financing).The fact that you need cash, you can learn how to wholesale or maybe get a real estate agent license so you can sell houses as your side-hustle while allowing you to learn your local market (and your MLS access allows you to study your market deeper).Real estate investing is like life.

Here is a list of what I would consider starting out with this cash access:- House Hack -- you'll have the money for the down payment pretty quickly and this is a brilliant strategy- Save for 8-12 months and buy a rent house (this will be around a $66k house if you can work the numbers on it)  -- either hold and operate it as a rental, or BRRRRR it - Save for 8-12 months and partner with someone on a flip, where you bring the down payment, the bank brings the 85% LTV loan, and you get a share of the proceeds OR a simple interest rate.

No financials are available and no one else has access to the account except him.We are trying to reorganize and set up a proper structure for the HOA, and the first thing we face is we can't even hold an annual meeting because two of the owners are overseas and can't attend physically.
