.: I know this is not REI, but this passive oil/gas fund was recommended by a RE syndicator/fundraiser.

I live in North Dakota, and I came across an apartment complex for sale in one of the state’s oil-heavy cities.

Quote from @Brett Cook: @Kate Nixon Taylor -Thank you.

Currently she has no access to hot water or cooking on her stove.

Run the numbers assuming that higher tax basis, and if the deal still pencils out under those conditions, then you can move forward confidently with whichever option makes the most sense.A purchase itself will not trigger a reassessment in Cook County.

One of them (third floor) doesn't really cook  as they are younger working guys (I don't know exactly what they do for work).

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.   

My fb algorithm has littered my news feed with a plethora of "professional REI mentors".....but it's hard to tell which ones are great and which ones are snake oil salesmen.Thank you!!!

You will also need to install cabinetry and countertops, and you may want to consider adding a small stove or oven if you plan to do more extensive cooking in the space.10.

find a good agent running or working at a well oiled brokerage and negotiate a low %.
