We stopped taking Security deposits in Cook County years ago.  

I would pick an area that is closer to you and easier for you to manage first and foremost.From there, people hate on cook county but the cook county suburbs have some of the lowest real estate tax percentages of any of the other counties around.

Here in Tampa we have Cuban families that have houses with 3 or 4 rooms that they rent to older ladies, two to a room, with an area for sitting and watching TV, a patio for visiting and they get their meals cooked for them for around a thousand a month, each.

I'm sure I will need to utilize this advice someday as I have a few inherited weed smokers so thank you.

@Jason Deck Cook County is the beast and where you hear the horror stories from.

Also, keep in mind, that If your property is located in cook county, even if you do obtain an order of eviction, the sheriff will not act upon it once the temperature falls below 15 degrees, I've posted a link regarding this below.
