Chicago Flip Getting Vandalized!!
I have a flip in Southside Chicago that just has a minor punch list that needs to be completed. We already have a buyer who came in at ask. The thing is, our house is being targeted for vandalism. We've had a fire set to the garage and on a separate occasion, a window broken. These incidents are within a week of each other after we accepted the offer. One was at night and the other in broad daylight. This isn't an overly crime-ridden neighborhood but I'm afraid that we took a vacant hang out spot away, so there may be retaliation in that regard. We found kids hanging around the property smoking weed on a couple of occasions but felt it to be harmless. We have a house sitter at night, neighbors are very active in the neighborhood and try to call the police, but what else can we do?

I've heard guns are pretty helpful in Chicago
