I am looking to get good legal advice (attorney) recommendations and process.  I will be BIDDING on property ; however, there are tenants living in home.  

Looking for experienced attorney for eviction process.  Yes, I know about cash for KEYS, but I want to know the "official" process/time to remedy (and, fees) - if this option is not accepted.

@Rich Thomas - I have property in these areas.   Yes, the taxes have kept many would be investors away.   The areas you mentioned are also 50%+ Section 8 residents.   However, there are some pockets where there are still many homeowners, who still value the upkeep of their properties, and savvy investors (local) know "these are the blocks" where they want to buy (for flips), and/or buy-hold.  

Yes, Dolton is in a dilemma now (TV news) with regards to water.  Some have lost homes due to water bills, and many are struggling to pay - due to Village errors.

There has been a LARGE number of home/apt decorating completed using GRAY PAINT colors.   Can landlords suggest their FAVORITE colors (gray), and manufactures (i.e; Sherwin-Williams, Benj Moore, Behr, Glidden, etc).....  Of course, being COST effective is important with choice.    Thanks !  

Just like many use and recommend "Navajo White", what is the HOTT GRAY choice.....?

With so many OPTIONS available, I would like a few suggestions on software/organizations that provide ONLINE tenant support.  I am looking for some PROS/CONS from the BP family.  

Suggestions?  

I am looking to start marketing my 1st property, and I do NOT have a lot of time, so I am looking for some good AUTOMATED/ONLINE suggestions.

Please share your experiences.....  

Also, does anyone have experience with Rentulations?
