Quote from @Johnny Cooke: Yes I have closed on the property,  half was over grown cutover.

In my opinion, this area is a melting pot, there is low income, high income, and short term rentals all mixed together. 10-15 years ago, I wouldn't have gone to this area alone to work, but it has gotten a lot better and I have never felt unsafe while working in this area alone. 

Quote from @Renee Cook: This was a wonderful post.

I'm particularly passionate about becoming a Real Estate Investor in Mutiple areas.Outside of real estate, I enjoy cooking, learning new skills, meeting great people, and love to travel.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Think areas where there aren't too many cooks in the kitchen already.

you need little things like coffee pot, iron/ironing board, can opener, corkscrew.

I just shared with you "What You Must Know About Cook County Eviction Process in 2023" where we detail out in writing the steps from the interview we did with the attorney whose firm is top 3 in Chicago/Cook!

This transactional lender puts $40k in the pot (for some return which I am curious what they were promised) to get it back at closing as part of seller/lender#2 financing.At closing the first lets say is owed $50,000 so the $70k covers the first balance and closing costs.

Contrary to what both faces of the media say - they try and stir the pot and over exaggerate everything.

I read in another post that if tenants found cook drugs in it, such as meth, it will affect the price the house significantly.
