I just listened to a webinar by John Cochran from Ohio with attorney Jeff Watson. They were telling the wrong ways, illegal ways, to do real estate investing. They said there are legal ways to do it. I have spoken to numerous IL attorneys who tell me wholesaling is illegal. If I ask about creative financing strategies, they are clueless. I need to really find out the truth about real estate investing, maybe a state regulation dept. Thank you

Does anyone know of a call center that answers inbound calls, takes 

contact info, and forwards it? Thank you

I am trying to get an attorney for forms, etc. 

I am building my investment team and need an attorney in Lake County who is familiar with creative strategies such as lease options. Thanks 

Post: landlord tenant laws

Thank you, we have been tenants of this landlord for six years. He has a property manager who is lax and has not given us a contract in two years. Recently the AC went out and the property manager said it was "fried" and decided to replace it. As they were finding the replacement they decided to do a bundle package and add the furnace. This is for a small house in Round Lake. They installed the furnace and AC, but did not hook up the furnace. Today the property manager said the landlord wants to raise the rent $50 to offset the cost of the furnace and AC. He asked if I knew it has been two years since we had a contract. 

I did google the landlord and tenant laws for IL and found they could not raise the rent for 30 days which made me feel better.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Mary

My son and I rent a house in Round Lake Beach, IL. I would like to know where to find the laws relating to what the landlord can legally require. Thank you
