That's the tipping point I keep hearing about.The biggest pattern I've noticed from these conversations: new landlords spend more time setting up systems than learning the fundamentals.

I think that the Woodlawn area is just going to continue on the up and up and be an extension of the Kenwood / Hydepark area.I am still a Pilsen fan, but I have also noticed that some of the construction on the buildings is not quite the same quality. 

@Amanda King  here are some best practices for you to followRecommended Best PracticesWritten Relocation Notice  I would provide tenants with Dates/Times of tenting, how long it will be uninhabitable, rent proration method used, relocation assistance program terms (Caps, reciepts, deadlines,) and deliver my certified mail, email and posted on the property at least 10 days before tenting.Standardized Assistance FormHave tenants submit, Name / unit, Contact info, Hotel receipt(s), Signature acknowledging termsClear Assistance TermsDraft language such as:“Landlord agrees to provide relocation assistance limited to actual lodging expenses incurred during the pest control displacement period, with original receipts, up to $200 per night for a maximum of 2 nights per household.

I've noticed investors with all different exit strategies finding plenty of opportunity here, very consistently.

Sounds like it's not just me noticing that there seems to be a ton of "private lenders" everywhere who are just trying to re-broker every deal they can get their hands on.

Going forward, I would also recommend conducting routine inspections to ensure there is no ongoing damage and if there is, issuing appropriate notices, including a notice to vacate if necessary.That said, it is important to have realistic expectations when renting to tenants with dogs, especially large dogs that some level of property damage is always a possibility.

Noticed they have really good ratings on google and some good content on their site but haven't seen any feedback on them on BP.

Some have weird notice rules.

Do you see noticeable differences in how properties are run based on how they’re financed? 

This typically requires that you send out a notice and follow it up with a posting advising that on a forthcoming date your maintenance team will be arriving to do a property check and if you do not hear from the tenant you will enter the property to assess.If the unit is found to be abandoned you should be able to file a petition with the court for an expedited order granting you a judgment of default and the right of immediate possessionI would consult with an attorney first however this is how we would proceed in my office.   .
