What tends to happen is tenants forget to close shower door or curtain all the way and water drips to the floor, overtime will cause termite damage.

Obviously this is just a guess and not actual data but I would tend to agree that the majority do violate laws, especially today since many of the laws have been added.

Where do you tend to source this data?

There tends to be a little bit more inventory at lower price points in the areas you've mentioned.  

I tend to suggest looking for a two-unit so you don't have to meet the self-sufficiency list which is a challenge for most 3-4 units in the city.After that, you've got some awesome real estate agents above......I'd be looking in Hermosa, Belmont Cragin, or Portage Park.Happy to connect and help out anyway I can.

on my route i did notice quite few signs for rent, when i see those kinda signs in yards and windows, it tends to trow red signs up for me, but as we all know, depends on the rental unit itself, and from what ive seen out there today, meaning everywhere!....

When you have no money, you tend to tap into creative ways of closing deals...

It may not be as easy to pickup a deal now, but agressive investors tend to market and will find creative ways to get into deals.

I'm laughing right now.How come on TV lesbians are always beautiful and exciting but in real life they tend to look like Larry and Curly from the 3 stooges?!

@Joe Gore I tend to agree with Randy, your comments often are ill informed, and sarcastic.
