Happy to talk more.

If anyone has any tips and sources for beginners or just wants to talk real estate, please let me know!

It's a good idea to keep an eye on any rule changes and check resources like the City of Chicago's website or talk to a local lawyer who knows about short-term rentals.

Talk to a CPA about how to report your income and file your taxes.

Have you ever actually picked up the phone to talk to someone?

Talk with the intermediary or your loan officer.  

Wishing you all the best in your continued journey!

Please continue to update us as to your progress.  

Jonathan I would love to have a quick talk with you when you get a chance, sometime next week works for me.

Along with negotiating the feasibility period and due diligence periods I'd concurrently do 2 things based on your plan:1. talk to the solar companies in the area and understand their site selection process, how they structure their deals, how they operate, etc. 2. talk to the power company and see if they need more renewable energy and if building another solar project in that area makes sense.
