My grandmother moved into a retirement home type facility a little over a year ago and her house has been sitting empty since while she still pays the mortgage on it.

I'm not sure if Rick is totally up and running yet, but I worked with him on space planning a new facility they are moving into in the next month.He has a couple of partners and has had years of experience in collections.I've never used him before so I can't stamp my name on any endorsement, but he came to mind when I read this post.Let him know Taylor Jennings from Office Works referred you.Richard RainhoFidelis Asset Management, Inc.1427 West 86th Street, Suite 562Indianapolis, IN 46260Office Phone: 716-771-1294Direct Line: 317-682-0555Direct Fax: 317-759-2564Cell Phone: 317-378-0229Toll Free Phone: 888-471-0280 ext 1000Toll Free Fax: 877-504-3190Email: [email protected]: www.FidelisCollections.com

I would warn you about cook county eviction process and the lengthy process that it is.

Yes, the vast majority were rejected, or countered too high to make a deal.But, on just a few occasions I was able to purchase a property far below asking price.The best one was an automotive repair facility I wanted.

I had a girlfriend who was special needs (epileptic), she got her money on time every month, and had someone come in who cleaned and cooked every day, the house was always clean,(unlike any of my other renters), rent was always paid on time, no damage.

The purpose is to "provide low income and homeless persons, potentially homeless persons, or otherwise disadvantaged, poor and distressed persons with housing facilities and educational and supportive facilities."
