The properties I'm looking at are in Cook County, IL where the laws are heavily in favor of the tenant. 

I believe heavily in the principle of hard work for those things that take longer to achieve typically reap the greatest reward. 

I'm not looking to discount it heavily but open to fair market price.Thx

@Scott Choppin the issue you are going to face is two fold; one, very few real estate crowdfunding sites, if any, will take on ground up development because they are inherently higher risk, longer term projects that do not appeal to the majority of current crowdfund investors so are difficult to capitalize, and two, investor demand for real estate crowdfunding slants heavily towards current pay on preferred returns which don't make good economic sense for ground up deals.These two issues may sound the same, but they are driven by different underlying dynamics.

All of this is still within the free interface of podio, i have been using it for nearly 2 years now with being a realtor and have added over 10,000 contacts to my CRM workspace i created in podio...One of the main reasons i played with podio lastnight in regards to tracking my rentals over excel, was i dont know how you can add receipts and documents to excel so you can track papers per property....This is a feature i have been using heavily with the podio app on my phone lately, i have been uploading the documents when a client makes an offer to the CRM, which stores them to an organized google drive, as well on my realtor expenses side i have been using it to store all my receipts and random pictures i need to store in regards to my realtor business.. these get tagged with a date and time and i dont have to go searching for them on my google drive. 

You aren't extending credit or a secured loan, such as a mortgage company or auto finance company would do, so her history in that regard should not weigh heavily in your decision. 

I've been weighing putting hanging/track barn doors on the opening to the living room to provide some definition but am not married to the idea.Bottom line is that I'm trying to market around the design flaws because we don't have the budget to heavily redesign.Would also appreciate ideas for exterior trim color and color for the interior pantry cabinets.

well if you do dump it into an index fund make sure it’s heavily bonds.  

@Stephanie McKay - this will depend heavily on your situation.In general- an LLC will not have a tax impact... it is mainly an asset protection strategy. 

Having worked heavily in multi family for the past four years I can tell you that market has been heavily saturated by investors.
