So, I'm starting off my landlording life in the red by $350!

This is my first time in landlord-tenant court in 15yrs.

If the landlord is paying any of the utilities then, imo, you really want to analyze your numbers and net operating income as heating bills in IL might be a whopper.And why so long to close?

But, you could have the headache of playing landlord.

Most of the agencies have horrible yelp reviews and worse reputations; they are known for giving landlords BS background checks and not being good partners.

It will benefit the community to make it easier to rent the units because it will make it easier for landlords to pay their dues.

The majority of the investors (landlords/rehabbers) that I've reached out to aren't too "picky" with their prefences i.e.: specific neighborhoods and the level of repairs they'd be willing to make.

-I don't think that I want to get into Buying to Rent (landlording seems like too much work/worry).

The trend is to hold the landlord accountable for not renting to someone- you can fill in the blanks.Last- The safe act has made on site financing a thing of the past.

But since you bought a property with a tenant with a lease, you are now a landlord and need to use the lawful procedures.
