@Kevin Cook might know a little more about that area. 

I don't like the idea of a REIT because I am leaving the bookkeeping up to someone else who is most likely cooking the books. 

Actually it is fermenting vegetables.

I recently sold 2 that were older than 1976.1968 2 bed/1 bath for $24,9001970 2 bed/1 bath for $28,000In some areas, you may need to upgrade the home to local code standards.1 - Sheetrock around heater and hot water heater and within 6 inches of cook top.2 - Egress (escape) windows in bedrooms.3 - Electrical - older than 1976 may have aluminum wiring instead of copper and pugs and switches may need to be upgraded.4 - Linoleum may contain asbestos and might need to be removed.Hope all this is clear.

After arriving and a quick lunch at an awesome 6,500 KRW buffet (with fresh vegetables growing outside the restaurant), we were off to see the first property.

It's like if I go to the restaurant and go into their kitchen and tell the cook how to make my meal, that can't happen.  

Properties are in Cook County IL.Trying to get further insight on this issue before I make a decision and outweigh the potential cost basis, whether it would be worth it.

Her goose will be cooked later.

Presumably you mean no sink, but I'm curious how they cook...So far I have two renters who will be staying here.
