@brian @Brian Cooke there is a service called PayNearMe, where the tenant can go to 7 eleven and pay up to $1500 with cash

The father is a cook, the mother doesn't work, and they have a small child.Any rehabbers or investors experience this in the past?

Hi Alexander,I am a Realtor in Chicago for the last 10 years and help buyers and sellers with their home sales and purchase in Cook County.

Hello BP community, I'm based in Chicago, Cook country I have deal that is not on MLS owner have clear title and apartment is paid off, I check owner properties tax was not paid for 2015.I think ether he forgot or have financial situation, title is under his name.

Hi Denise Cook There are lenders that offer 30, but they're typically on properties with very long term national tenant leases. 10 or 20 isn't bad if there is no prepay penalty and you can refi any time.

Have rules spelled out beforehand & decide if you want non-smokers in ur house.

@Andrew Cook  Are you bragging or complaining?

ps - just for fun, maybe hire the PM company that the tenant works for and tell them that you need them to evict the smoker tenant :) haha

I also have a great lender from Castle and Cooke who is an investor and will educate you about the whole process and big picture.

He's a smoker (non-smoking building) and a big drinker.
