How u feeling everyone? I have a question, I'm a newbie to real estate investing but I wanted to know can u wholesale commercial property?Example:boutique,church,restaurant. I'm just wondering. Appreciate you help.

I appreciate the advice and thoughtful helpful advice. I do plan on meeting with the chief of police. By the way I live in the south suburbs of Chicago, IL in a Village named Riverdale. I am a homeowner and I live next door to section 8 tenants. These tenants are the 3rd family that has moved into this house. And the last 2 families that lived there before this current family all were involved in similiar crime and drug activities and the property manager doesn't live in the area and avoids me and my family every chance he gets so he won't here our concerns because he's a slumlord. But we are trying to resolve this problem to our block before someone else could get hurt. This why I now believe that this man can get his license revoked. This house has seen nothing but trouble through 3 families who mentality are all the same!
And I'm only speaking this way do to having bad experiences from section 8 tenants who are not being screened and just move in. And by the way this house sits right between the middle of my home and the neighbors next door to them who are also homeowners. One of the teenagers even stole their water hose and one our neighbors across the street noticed the section 8 tenants using the hose to water their grass. Unbelieveable!

We are not at peace on this block because of this one household and I stay constantly alert on these people because they don't like us and the feeling is mutual. I am not afraid of these people because I've dealt with worse and I don't live in FEAR as someone wrote on this forum but I have concerns because of my 3 children and I will protect my daughters at all cost.

But thank-you all again for some thoughtful advice

My family and I live next door to section 8 tenants who are a nightmare. I have pictures of them selling drugs and smoking marijuana. I've filed reports through the police no action was fully taken. My car was broken into and a witness saw my neighbors daughter and a teenage boy still my mother's handicap placard. We got a replacement and filed it stolen with our state. Recently I witnessed a robbery at gun point of the section 8 neighbors right in front of my home as I looked out of my front door window at about 1:05 am Sat. morning on June 12,2010.
We hate these neighbors and I know that this a strong word but what else can we do to get rid of these people before they endanger somone else or my 3 daughters and myself or my elderly mom could be the next victims or be killed? Can we contact Section 8? What do I say? Will they kick them out? I don't want to implicate my family in this in anyway. Can the state revoke the landlord's license?I want to go to the section 8 office in person but can I report them stating that I am concerned citizen and how can we get the police to help get these people OUT!! since they violated every law under section 8 including disturbing our neighborhood's quiet of enjoyment rights.
My neighbors are so scared of this family and they're killing our block club and the "we call the police sign doesn't seem to intimidate all who come on this block to conduct drug sells on our block. Thank-you for your response and advice. :cry:
