I’ve heard a few stories of people developing lots only to find out all the vegetation from nearby developments had been stockpiles or muck.

Having to pay title insurance when you buy a home, and then 6 months later after we flip it always seemed so ridiculous to me.Is there a market for my buddy to charge reasonable rates in Cook County?

The tenant counter claimed that no damage would have be done if a working extinguisher was in place.While the judge did find that the damage was still caused by the tenant for starting a fire on the stove when cooking.

@D'Andre ByersHere’s some marriage/real estate advice.Learn to cook with the ingredients your wife gives you.Maybe she refuses to live in a fixer upper or duplex.

You usually have access to a kitchen to cook, etc.   

Drive through it frequently, at different times of the day -- you might be surprised by what your find -- people taking care of lawns of tending to backyard vegetable gardens, parents sitting on porches watching children play, neighbors chatting. 

I just had one tenant's policy pay out when they had a cooking accident.

The Illinois Rental Property Owners Association is opposed to this unnecessary legislation.Here are the reasons why: The type of battery in a smoke detector does not make the detector work betterPeople remove batteries when the detector goes off while cooking.

Typically along the lines of: cooking (meals are prepared or they have a dining room), cleaning (they don't have to clean their room/apt), bathing (if it is a fall risk/concern), and potentially laundry, etc.People often confuse this with a nursing home which it is not, or at least the level of care shouldn't be at a nursing home level.

And future leases should state:  1.If Tenant elects to cook outdoors on the patio, the barbecue grill is to be kept a minimum of 15 feet away from the house, and stored outdoors at all times.
