@Jesse Byrer I had great success with Tom Raleigh at Halsted Law Group and thought the fees were quite reasonable, but it was in Cook county.

It's also productive fun- I also like hobbies where I make things (knitting, sewing, cooking, fixing up things around the house, etc), but the sense of accomplishment at the end of spending 4 weeks solid knitting a scarf is not nearly as... well, fun... as spending that four weeks putting together a deal.And once you stop needing the money to live on, it starts going to interesting projects and things you care about- I try to donate money to science research I find interesting, but tends to get ignored by the big grant institutions- I could happily, happily, spend $100 million on that and never get bored.

Just seems like the taxes in Cook County really kill any room for buy and holds.

Besides what others have mentioned about the Cook County landlord laws, the nice or even average parts of Chicago are very expensive places to buy property in.

The Cook County Sheriff says he will no longer evict homeowners or tenants from properties that are involved in a foreclosure.

So I pay my cooking gas and electric for my apartment as well as the heat and hot water for the whole house.

The tenant is suspected of cooking meth in your property and the police have a warrant to search the property, who will be the first person they would contact to access the property?

My last eviction in Cook County took nearly six months from start to finish.

Fun fact about me, im a very good cook, and i like bodybuilding.Thank you for your time.

Thre are some great deals, but the problem is the cook county.
