Oh, unless your in oil country and the price drops to $20/barrel! 

I'm trying to rent my 2nd floor in my owner/occupy, but I'm running into some resistance on my heat utilities as I have oil heat/hot water.Currently I am including water/sewage but tenant would pay electric/heat/hot water. 

Unless Niles has one too, which I doubt, do a security deposit.See if Niles requires rental licensing, all but one of the suburbs we are in require it.Since Niles is in Cook County know that you can't say things like No section 8, that you won't take section 8, or deny an application because they have section 8.Screen hard.

usually they will guide you.if you have a contract signed and are in attorney review, you should have all the contingencies outlined. you should do an oil tank sweep. that costs under $300. if there is an underground oil tank that was not properly decommissioned with permits, RUN AWAY!! 

However we have clients who have tax liens, gas and oil rights, llamas, trees, etc. think of working within an investment group or real estate group to gain knowledge and experience. 

Considering more in Calgary since property took a hit with the oil dive.

I know this, I work with one guy that watches how many home cooked meals his landlord makes, how many visitors he has which he prepare meals for.

They just need a place to sleep, cook their food and do their laundry. 

Will county is significantly lower than cook county.
