To be honest, on over 100 building permits last year in the City of Chicago, with many of them having some form of enclosed porch, I think only 2 were ever mentioned by the Department of Zoning where they brought it up as a "Concern" which led us on a wild goose chase of finding and sharing information, overally causing unnecessary delay to the permit review process and eventually coming to a close (some positive, some negative).

If every property is presented a low cime areas and B to B+ neighborhoods, but you see run-down areas and clearly blue collar, low to middle income areas, then you know that something is not right and you are being "sold" rather than being led.  

.: A woman who inherited a home in New York City full of people squatting illegally was arrested and led away in handcuffs after she changed the locks.Adele Andaloro, 47, was placed under arrest at her $1 million home in Flushing, Queens.As the Post further reports, this is the latest such incident - which comes weeks after a couple's plan to move into a $2 million home in Douglaston, Queens with their disabled son was derailed by a squatter who claimed to have an agreement with the previous owner.In another incident, a squatter turned a Rockaways home into a 'house of horrors' with over a dozen emaciated cats and dogs trapped inside.Super unfortunate.

I had a rental property that was running well, and my personality simply led me to sell the property.

I got that done back in October and they did all of the standard work (caulked the windows, weather stripping, added LED bulbs, etc).

Getting sold a Class B or C property and being led to believe you'll get Class A results!

It was pretty hard to find properties where the numbers and landlord laws made sense which is what ultimately led me to investing in Columbus, OH.

It was pretty hard to find properties where the numbers and landlord laws made sense which is what ultimately led me to investing in Columbus, OH.Not to mention the upcoming legislation on the November ballot that can really hinder your returns from rental properties.

What has led you to switch your focus from Ohio to Milwaukee, WI?

- Is it worth hiring someone to put in recessed lighting or should I stick with current electrical and just put in LED bulbs?
