Lake/McHenry County Investment Q&A and Discussion

[Jeffrey Hotz]

Wanted to start a discuss for all the investors in Lake or McHenry Counties since there isn't an area specifically for that.  Interested to hear of issues and concerns in a more targeted/local way.  

I can say I recently came across a concern with a house I have in McCullum Lake area.  Since I originally started with HomeVestors the "We Buy Ugly Houses" guys in Cleveland in 2012, and just expanded to Chicago area last year I was unfamiliar with the class action lawsuit against that chemical plant and the people who developed (allegedly) brain cancer in that area.

Anyone have any more info on this or done a deal in that area?  Would be interested to see how a flip went.  Market timing is a little high but I would have a concern there, but after hearing about the lawsuit I'm emotionally less interested in the project I have.

Lets discuss more local Lake/ McHenry County issues!
