Law enforcement is now targeting third parties involved in “cooking the books” that “force by fraud” qualify clients for Covid-19 relief.

They are the ones who were not taking out their garbage, leaving food in the sinks and on the floor, and not keeping their own home clean.  

Food for thought, sometimes it’s easier to buy new right out the gate with cheaper new build interest rates, to get your feet wet, then move into properties that may need work.

Here in Cook and DuPage counties, rentals can pull 6-8% cap rates, which is solid.

Over the course of the year, it would be over 60% return and still cooking for many years after. 

Problem is they would also have to live here, pay rent, buy food and health care..

A few “devil in the details” notes I see often on sub-$2M (mostly C-class/vintage): • Underwriting quirks: In Cook County, taxes can jump post-sale/reassessment—stress test NOI with +20–35% tax sensitivity and budget for appeals.

They even lit a fire in the garage, possibly for cooking or heat I'm not sure.  

I believe Cook's children hospital is highly rated therefore there is a demand for travel nurses.
