@Marian Smith the custom of who pays for what closing costs is different in every state.  

Depending on the size of the facility, you might also want to look into a kiosk for new customers and other on-site customer assistance matters such as lock outs and payments.

I'm debating between paying for this and customizing my own or using the free on through Chicago Association Of Realtors.

:@Chad JusticeIf tile is going down then my approach would be to screw down some backer board or durock over top of what is already thereLooking at the pic and the area labeled (1), I guess I made the assumption that it was a slab underneath. 

Don't make assumptions that someone is lying or hiding something just because they are quiet and anti-social.  

Maybe my assumptions about a broker client relationship are a little misconstrued.  

I am paying his mark up to manage the project, in a sense, so that my time is not consumed with customer relations.

I have purchased from several turnkey companies in Memphis and they all have different styles and customers that they cater to. 

For a multi family property where there are 2 small bedrooms per unit (which is the one I am purchasing), my assumption was that I would not need a lot of lawn area for families, as I don't really want big families in my small units.

This is a great chat thred, but makes a huge assumption, that owning RE is the only way to make a good ROI.
