The text of the order is as follows:IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the Sheriff of Cook County shall cease execution of eviction orders relating to residential real estate effective December 19, 2017.

Management goes through rent rolls and finances of prospective sites, and I do physical inspections, gather certificates, check and estimate vacant and contracts, etc.It's usually an additional service in my experience, but works out well when we start take over new contracts.

I am going to talk to an attorney that specializes in evictions to get the ball rolling now.

I tell PotentIal tenants it’s usually quiet unless of coarse a gun goes off In a drIve by or the police are arresting someone with their sirens on .i also tell them it’s just a short walk down down the lItter lIned street to our frIendly liquor store and there’s a charmIng little ma and pa corner store that sells cigarettes ,rolling papers, and lotto tickets - all the essentials.

can’t wait to get my first investment under my belt and really get the ball rolling!!!

A lot of the hoods it rolls through looked rather run down, on that trip.

I knew I could do a 1031 exchange and roll the money into the new house, but I didn't know I could keep any of it tax free.

Roll Tide!

@Jordan Moorhead  You make very good points, and once we are rolling, we may find ourselves considering other options outside of the buy and hold method. 

I send my condolences to this man and his family and other investors please be aware and cautious https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7chicago.com/amp/2-charged-in-murder-of-rolling-meadows-man-after-body-found-in-englewood-sewer/4381891/
