I am looking to invest in a duplex, 3 flat, or fourplex around Avondale/Logan Square in Chicago.

I have heard that there are some lawyers who will charge a flat fee of $250, meet with you to explain the rental rules, and provide some hard copy resources.

My in laws live in Clermont, FL which is beautiful as it’s hilly (most FL is flat as a pancake).

I am fearful of other frats / sports teams etc that are flat out animals (we've all seen the movie). 

Has anyone converted a two-flat to a three-flat? 

Hourly rates vary and some attorneys will do a flat fee for a for a syndication within certain parameters for $10k and up.

Appfolio can raise rents by percentage or a flat rate.  

Also, no one dare speaks of oversupply because of all the news but SW Florida does have an absorption rate just like anywhere.Lot prices have doubled, lumber has quadrupled, labor has gone up, and nothing has decreased in price (at this point % rates are even flat year over year).Good luck 🍀 and build fast if you do some!

Constraint #1: in LA we want to keep our all-in rent equal to the NYC carry costs so our absolute living expenses per month are roughly flat = $3500-$4000 max rent in LAConsideration #2We'd like a minimum at 2br/1b in LA but ideally, 2br/2b or 3br/2b since my spouse will be WFH for the majority going forward post COVID plus in-laws may want to come over (low priority lol)Consideration #3We understand traffic is horrendous but haven't truly experienced it.
