Community pool, HOA maintenance of common areas, common play area for children.  

Who are the people in the neighborhood, are they families with young children?

I am quitting my day job to stay home with our children and my wife is going to continue to work.

My wife and I have spent a good deal of time in our jobs with families and children who are likely to be, for the most part, perpetual renters.

The only reason we’d want to stay around Chicago is to get help with future children, but that’s a pretty good reason.

@Justin Jaeger,Speaking as a single, former professional person with no children, a property like that might be good for someone who works days and doesn't care about the school across the street, but doesn't have the family / pet issues the other posters have mentioned.

Purchase Price: 170,000After repair Value:260,000repair cost: 10,000rental income: Front unit 3b 2b = $1400 back unit (studio) $500 = $1900 The seller owes $75000 in taxes is 85 years old and her children are a demon spawn.

For the # of children, you are advertising a 5 bedroom house!  

Why would you be willing to work to make more income and not want to share that with your children.

Appliances that require a ground should not be used with 2-slot receptacles**The home is part of an estate sale and the children just want to get rid of it...the price and the area are the main reasons I'm seeking it.
