During this time, private property was abolished, and families were forced to give up their cooking pans and join communal kitchens as part of collective living under communes.

And it's written under the pseudonym of Sean Cook by Paul Kaseburg.Paul’s sat on both sides of the table on over $2 billion of real estate deals.

You can say something like:“Always use bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans when cooking or showering.”

This plan was cooked up to save the housing industry, not for the homeowner.I work with new investors in creative investing strategies. 

You can totally put them on in the background while driving, working out, cooking, etc….

I hear you, Cook County taxes + Chicago’s tenant-friendly rules can make the numbers tighter, especially if you’re trying to cash flow right away.Chicago is still good if you buy smart (solid rents, good condition, room to add value), but it’s become more of a long-term / appreciation + rent growth play than an instant-cash-flow one.If you want quicker cash flow and to stay in IL, look at:Portage Park / Jefferson Park / Irving Park (lower entry than Logan)South Side pockets (Bronzeville, McKinley Park, Back of the Yards — run the tenant/risk numbers)Outside Chicago: Rockford, Springfield, Champaign/Urbana — cheaper buy-in, better rent-to-price.I’d run the deal assuming higher taxes and slower rent growth — if it still works, it’s a buy.

Because it's the EASIEST way to spin the numbers of a bad/non investment property into seeming good via a cooked-books analysis.

Also make sure the bathroom and kitchen have ventilation fans operated on humidistat switches,  otherwise as soon as you get tenants cooking and taking showers down there you will get a lot more humidity to manage.And you may not be able to control what  your neighbor does,   but +1 on checking your own downspouts.
