We have a duplex with an extra flagpole lot that we are hoping to set up with an ADU for short term rentals.

That is why club houses, fancy mailboxes, flag poles, paved roads and beautiful signs are not to be considered. 

Illinois finally took the step to make it very clear you need a license to sell or market real estate you do not have title ownership to. those hiding behind  ( hey i am just selling a contract) that does not fly when run up the regulator flag pole. 

Flag poles, playgrounds, cabanas, paved streets, street lamps, RV parking, large entrance signs, swimming pools, etc- all good stuff. 

They have put sign, sidewalk, and flag pole in our lawn. 

@Chris Seveney  @Mindy Jensen    Mindy can you run this up the flag pole at world headquarters.can you guys develop an easy PV  for note investors .. a simple to use calc. to help these folks who are trying to determine what to pay for a certain yield in the note space.. ??? 

I refuse.. flat out.. that stops them in their tracks.. then I tell them we have first American  Fidelity WFG  TIcor Chicago take your pic I have closers at each that you just send the docs there and you know my files skinny as they are I can pop in sign in 5 minutes and leave.. they run that up the flag pole and will comply.I fell for the mobile notary one time in NYC when I was at my daughters wedding and that cost me 350 bucks I about came unglued on that one.. never again nothing against those folks but I have all those title companies on one street 5 minutes from my home base.. and I know all the senior closers on first name basis so for ME and I know I am not one off but that's how I do it..   

No Solar stuff, No Ham Radio antennas, No Flag poles, etc...If it were me, (to be tactful) I'd tell them it seemed like a good idea but my attorney advised against it, and leave it at that.That way you are not getting in to any kind  of perceived Political or environmental disagreement with them, and you remain the innocent middle man.Just my 2 cents.Good Luck!

I knew nothing whatsoever about buying a house, but this place was a white elephant oddity...bottom floor concrete block, upper floor double wide modular..on a flag pole lot, with no landscaping whatsoever, 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, bad subflooring,  one bedroom had been "converted" to a ...spa? 

We have a neighbor who installed a flag pole before the rules were changed about them and she was able to keep hers even after they were no longer allowed.
