Right now is not a great time to market properties as home buyers are more concerned with who is going to cook the mashed potatoes and crescent rolls for Thanksgiving and if they're going to buy a PS4 for Tommy for Christmas (or Channukah or Kwanzaa or Festivus ... trying to stay PC here now people).

I can see removing gas supplies in bedrooms since they're obsolete, but I wouldn't absorb that expense on a "what if" when it's common practice to use gas for cooking. 

Never thought about the section 8 angle, we don't have any section 8 but may since it's now mandatory in Cook County to accept tenant 8 applications.

Best to add a clause about BBQs and Cooking Grills to your property rules.

Hi @Sharonda Cook I think that you've come to the right place to learn about real estate!

Cook county taxes are extremely high.

If you are a cook, buy some cookie dough and make fresh cookies so the house smells great and get some great coffee and all the fixins.

We buy them all over Chicagoland - Dupage, Will, Cook, Lake & Mchenry counties.

Did you go find them to let them know about their statutory redemption rights and that you would help them out with that so they wouldn't lose their property and no "mean" investors would profit off their pain, or did you run around feeling great about the deal you bought and telling your buddies about how you just got a "smoker" of a deal?

But I had a smoker unit that I bit everything and it has held up so far.
