I will be using the latest technology, a soft wash system.

I believe homeowner has 2.5yrs in cook county to buy back. i think the bidding changed these days a bit. you have a chance against big corporation because if there are more than 1 bidders who bids 0% computer soft randomly assigned the winner. one thing I have a hard time to understand is ..in August 2016 we will be bidding on 2014 unpaid taxes. what if there are 2006 unpaid taxes or 2004 ?

And a soft remodel (paint, new vinyl laminate floor, etc) is usually in the 5-10 range for me...So you may have found a lucrative investment and an exercise program (especially if you become a small scale landlord)

The 10-20k was just a soft estimate for purposes of this post.  

Given the soft market conditions, and negative outlook, sales are not what they once were just one year ago in terms of price or days on market.  

A lender (hard or soft money)?

The part about the "credit" check, I've always been told that it was a "soft" check and would not affect the credit reporting.

Check for soft spots on the floor and walls.

The property market here is relatively soft at the moment, and with a lot of foreign pensioners comes a lot of distressed situations.

The floor isn't soft, there isn't an oder, but I tend to be anal about any water issues.From where I sit there are two options.
