I am most familiar with the south side of Chicago and its suburbs, so I would recommend you look into Chicago neighborhoods like Mount Greenwood (pricy, but you might be able to find something), South West side of Ashburn/Scottsdale, midway / Garfield ridge.As for the suburbs, I would start with Blue Island (new community college campus just moved downtown, finished bridge work and infrastructure projects recently, hospital near downtown), Evergreen Park (TONS of new businesses built within the last few year), Oak Lawn (Christ Hospital expansion, along with new businesses on 111th and Cicero), Alsip and a few others.

I have bad luck with those going out almost yearly, flame eye sensors quitting, and the circulation motors every 2-3 years ($600) depending the brand.I do maintenance on 4 different boiler systems at a few of the wineries here in Napa (some for water heating and some for space heating).  

Am hands on and pretty much a brick  and motor investor. 

On the street in the past 5 years, most of the calls are suspicious behavior, noise complaints, etc with a few motor vehicle burglaries and one auto theft.

You can buy a stand to mount the camera on and control it from your phone if you want a picture without you in it.3.  

It can be costly for a landlord to mount a defense and often the tenant has more to gain by pursuing the case. 

I would start from the outside first, as Account Closed is right, if the sump pit is the enclosed type the sell and not perforated all around it, then there is always water sitting at the bottom of the pit, and all sump pumps are not designed to get every bit of water out, the intake for the water is usually about 3/8" up from the bottom of the unit, this prevent the motor from being clogged with mud.a lot of times the home inspectors will exaggerate things for their clients.

This saves me money to keep them and I can reuse all the existing holes making mounting everything back super fast. 

If you are concerned ask him how he is going to mount the board on the wall.  

Hot and cold water is backwards, big hole in the wall under the sink , sink not mounted, counter not mounted ect 😐 other than that the house is nearly turnkey
