@Sam C.  Welcome to BP! Lots of great local members here in Chicago.

Welcome @Mike Mosby . I look forward to reading your blog!

Rentometer is another resource for comp rents.

Trulia has a "local info" section with heat maps to visualize data like crime and demographics.

@Brie Schmidt @Account Closed You're very welcome — that's what BP is all about!

Thanks @Brie Schmidt !  

Handyman Matters sounds great — I'll check them out.

For those of you who work with handymen to help with minor repairs at your properties: 

How did you find them?

How do you evaluate them? What do you look for?

And for my fellow Chicago BPers, any local handymen you would recommend? (I'm in Irving Park.)

Welcome David! Best of luck as you jump in, and feel free to reach out.

@Steven Hamilton II tag didn't work on my last post for some reason

@Danny Duran Congrats on your first contract!

@Steven Hamilton II haven't you successfully dealt with a pretty serious mold issue on a rehab?

@Masroor Ahmed  Do the tenants pay for their own heat, or is the entire building on a single boiler? That's a huge factor in Chicago utilities expenses.
