I have Life/Health insurance licenses.My ultimate goal is to have more time for my family by leaving the 9-5.

If it were my deal I would say pas simply because I've done enough remodels to know that you could easily uncover a 5,000 hidden cost (Or way More) I'm not trying to scare you off but my risk tolerance could be way less than yours. 

Which has led me to start looking at the Beech Grove area which scares me in some aspects because there are some rough neighborhoods as you get closer to Indy.

One of my brothers is not open to this idea and as I have had health issues, have lacked the energy to really pursue a conversation about why he feels this way.

Heard later the lawyer work on contingency, and gave up after six months when his demand letters didn't scare anyone.

Now my patience limit has crossed and balance has grown enough to scare me.Recently tenant also said to me that you can go for judgement and they are well aware of tenant laws, basically telling me I can't kick them right away.Lease ends in August, but how do I start the eviction process?

I am not sure which options would work best for myself and I guess it boils down to me being intimidated and scared to pull the trigger until I am comfortable.

(a) A landlord shall:(1) comply with the requirements of applicable building and housing codes materially affecting health and safety;(2) make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a habitable condition;(3) keep all common areas of the premises in a clean and safe condition;(4) maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and other facilities and appliances, including elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord;(5) provide and maintain appropriate receptacles and conveniences for the removal of garbage, rubbish, and other waste incidental to the occupancy of the dwelling unit and arrange for their removal; and(6) supply running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times and reasonable heat except where the building that includes the dwelling unit is not required by law to be equipped for that purpose, or the dwelling unit is so constructed that heat or hot water is generated by an installation within the exclusive control of the tenant and supplied by a direct public utility connection.

I'm not trying to scare you, but be sure to bounce your numbers off as many people who are familiar with the area, vet the bills and insurance and the taxes. and ask for all the costs, and all the bills that you will have to pay, and make sure the bill has the last 12 months of usage(8 kids or extra family living in unit, or renter charges neighborhood to wash clothes bc they arnt paying water and sewer bill),so you know what you are looking at.

Hey BP,Contingent on a Chicago area property that’s in need of pretty major lead remediation before the city will allow tenants to occupy a couple of the units.City health inspectors have been through the structure twice and have issued an exhaustive list of items that must be fixed, including suggested methods for remediation.Closing is contingent on these items being handled by a licensed remediation/restoration firm, or at the very least having the work quoted in order to obtain a credit from the seller.So, can anyone recommend a well reviewed/reputable, licensed lead remediation firm in the Chicago area?
