I had to deal with my insurance company to get one month of rent reimbursed for the first tenant that ultimately had to be evicted.Lonna Lonna, the woman in charge of property management, is amazing.

It was an elderly woman who had approximately 50 units she was getting rid of so that she could move out of the area.

In November 2019 I found a cute duplex that didn't need much.

First of all, you need new PM who has good reviews in that specific neiborhood of Chicago.Then, that turn key property might be running a scam involving loan officers, Appraiser,  etcI know a house in Euclid which is sold to an older woman for $125K FHA in a part of city where nothing worth more than$75-80K.

My 2cents...make sure you get a woman that's on the same page as you to cut out any issues in your relationship.

The woman I talked to compared it to a few other properties she manages in the same area and estimated $1100 - $1200/month. 

You definitely married a smarter woman.

We found a cute old little 2-story Victorian in Roslyn, WA.
