I would contact @David Cook since he is on the ground and managing the types of properties that you are looking to invest in.Good LuckDerrick

Always ensure that regardless of your kitchen countertop ideas , go for materials which  can withstand wear and tear are durable while cooking and preparation.

Thanks @Victor Cooke!  

I'm trying to figure out what the criteria is in ListSource that corresponds to the Cook County assessor classification code for an apartment building with 2-6 units, which is code 2-11.

Thank you for having me, Monteria Cook

- Are any of the residents smokers?

You see what I meanI like the most protection, and not thrilled with the idea of yet another cook in the pot.  

For all you know her son/grandson is cooking meth in there...

There is sentimental value to the home, my dad grew up there and its where my grandma taught me how to cook my fav meal chicken and dumplings.

Smokers will insist they never smoked inside, all the whole standing in the doorway of your sliding glass door or garage.
