I saw this while doing some research...This may help.https://www.lsnjlaw.org/Housing/Landlord-Tenant/Condo-Conversions/Pages/Condominium-Cooperative-Conversions.aspx

It was those 2022 delivered  projects where I became an accidental landlord that led me to focus more attention on building to researched housing needs rather than simply replicating the inventory other's bring to the market and it's been a game changer for me and my business. 

What are some of the best techniques to shut down those who protest against landlords who want to charge high rates in a neighborhood facing gentrification?

We are looking into houses on the lower end of the scale at first to get started for a "low risk" (we could pay mortgage out of pocket no problem even if property is vacant for 30 years) house that will give us the experience we need as rental home landlords - and I am looking down the road at potential investment ideas to keep this thing rolling.

Landlords in illinois for sfh rentals don't provide snow removal or lawn cutting so thats not an issue.   

I would rather do that and never have rent be a reason for a landlord's #1 expense: turnover.

I've tried conventional and DSCR (I have no landlord experience yet, so that disqualified me from 1 lender).

Hello folks, I am the landlord for a property, and the tenants are three friends who share a single lease.

I manage the property and the tenants, pay the owner of the property a rent that meets their mortgage plus a little profit, charge fair market rent from the tenants I sublet to, and exercise an option to buy the property after a predefined term and at a predefined price.This way tired landlords don't have to manage their property anymore, and I start investing with little to no money.

Dee: @Jarrod Ochsenbein Do you have your own landlord/maitenance workers for these properties?
