According the FBI, aggravated assault and robbery in Rockford have risen since 2013 by 30% and 22% respectively, with the murder rate only increasing slightly.

The one time I hired a PM to manage this property, matter severely worsened as the PM never chased up late payments and didn't attend to maintenance issues, which aggravated the tenant.Conversely, I have always been prompt with maintenance requests and repairs.Recently the stove stopped working.

What I am getting at is if 15 years ago someone was pushing office and got it rezoned and it never took off and today there is mainly residential around it then it should be easy for a rezone.If the area has transformed into mainly office or a commercial corridor you will have trouble getting a variance now to change it back.I wouldn't in that situation as likely the highest and best use value is selling it for office or commercial.If it is zoned office do not advertise it as residential as that is misleading.We have had lawsuits here before where a seller advertised a certain asset type and then the buyer found out later otherwise and sued.Yes due diligence is on the buyer but they can still sue you for misleading them causing wasted time and aggravation.

Yes, the fee is nominal, but it was really more about the aggravation than it was about the money.I did find some statutory law requiring escrow agents to hold funds to confirm they're good, but I couldn't find anything relating to disputes over a title company holding funds per this law and it being argued that the contract was breached.

It's something you get used to over time, but a lot of people deal with SAD (seasonally aggravated depression) because of it.

The law may be on our side, but who needs the aggravation?

A simple search of the county clerk website came up with the following convictions between them: rape, burglary, aggravated robbery, assault, and fraud.

After all the aggravation the deal is if you are managing the properties yourself then you are suppose to have this business license.

It can be aggravating, but, there are plenty of Buyers out there. 

It does not seem that most groups are interested in this type of banter.That is why I come to a forum like this.While these discussions can be rewarding, they can be extremely aggravating as well.
