What part of town are your properties located?  I'm having a hell of a time finding anything worthwhile.

Stay away from Fairmount!  Stay away from anything south of dellwood park!  Fairmount is a complete war zone.  Just Google Street view through the neighborhood and you'll see why. 

Good luck and happy investing.

Good deals around Joliet have been going surprisingly fast as of late and prices are a lot higher then they were just a few months back... at least from my perspective.

I can't seem to be able to find the search function while using the android mobile app. Where the heck is it? 

Thanks in advance!

I'd paint them white and call it a day.

Though I don't post a lot, I do read, research and lurk on the forums for hours a week. As others have stated, even with my 20/20 vision I find the text very hard to read and bothering. Furthermore I dislike how I am only able to see one post at a time being as so much space has been taken away; before you'd be able to see 2-3 replies without having to scroll down, now I feel like I just keep tapping my down key on my Chromebook. Along with the reply bar on the bottom I hate how I have to do more l clicking to navigate such as having to click on the 3 circles to the right to quote someone.

I will continue to use this forum because the info is invaluable and I applaud all of those who keep this  site running but I am not too please about these recent changes and may cut back time spent here.

Small world, the guy who bought it works out at my gym, I was just talking to him yesterday about it. The rehab looked great and I love the materials chosen. 

Excellent deal!
