This is a realtor I did a standard MLS deal with 5 years ago, and he stays in touch with me -- so we kind of have a pre-existing relationship.

I added another SFH to my portfolio a few months later but that one was pretty standard.

It used to be that people were trained to the standard of living in base housing where you had to do a full make ready just to get checked out including a seriously overpriced cleaning person.

But that makes sense to make it a standard across the board to avoid discrimination.

How do I check that the basement apartment meets the city’s building code standards?

Price point compared to standard rentals?

Cellulose would be cheaper and probably the more standard option.We don't see a ton of people use spray foam in Chicago attics typically in basements where you don't have a very thick wall and want to get that high R-value.  

If you buy a color that matches the tub surround, it will look less ADA and more decorator.That way when you turn the unit, the next potential renter will see them as a upgrade to a standard bath setup.Good Luck!

Does anyone know if they will work with my lender on the 203k limited loan where I get ~$30,000 in improvements (not the standard 203k loan).

The standard down payment from what I understand is 20-30%.
