@Timothy Taylor - If you aren't in the ADU pilot area then you need to understand what your building is currently zoned (Chicago zoning map website = https://gisapps.chicago.gov/Zo...) and see what you can build buy right.

But if the seller was insistent on not offering a buyer agent commission ($1 offer), they could still do the flat fee MLS listing and get syndication to all the major websites.

Is the BBB website a great place to find great contractors in my local area? 

You can also have them research the local foreclosure attorneys websites; many of them have their own listings.  

Anything not listed, either MLS, Loopnet, or broker website is off market.  

Matt Faircloth gave me tips on raising capital and my business website that was priceless.

You can find it on Amazon or nolo.com website.

I wouldn't pretend to know the heart of most men I've met, much less those I've come across on a real estate website, but @Terri FY struck me as sincere. 

Also, documenting everything (Operating Agreement, etc. that I created on a forms website) and having official terms set kept any confusion about anyones role or finances.
