We could not find any outstanding fines that had been levied by Cook county related to this, but are concerned that in the future we'll get dinged for it.

That's my frustration now, what's the real (get guts get off the pot take action here's next step stop reading and planning do something) answer.Thank you if you made it this far into my ranting thoughts that haunt me on a daily basis!

Quote from @Lucas Cook: Dear BiggerPockets,I live in Southwest Louisiana.

Rent is still due on the 1st, late fee on the 5th, eviction starts on the 10th.Wife of 20 years left you for a pot-smoking, unemployed 21-year-old neighbor living in his parents basement (true story, not mine)? 

Is the gas used only for the water heater, or does it also run the furnace, cook stoves, etc?

I just wasn't sure if people truly held this pot of funds aside, or if they in reality just in invest it, and then pull out of investments as needed when issues come up (assuming they have the cash flow to float those kinds of costs when they arise).

Middle of the road people tend to be pot luck sometimes you can get someone really good and other times really bad.

BP has undergone many changes through the years and this isn't the first time they've rearranged the kitchen on all of their cooks. 

If the seller can find the buyer and both agree on the price and neither side is scamming the other and the title isn't encumbered by nasty mechanics liens and the mortgage company isn't being a pain in the you know what on the buyer's side and there are no zoning issues and there's no radon gas and the seller hasn't been cooking meth in the basement and there is no mold and there aren't any non-permitted modifications to the house that can come around and bite the buyer, and both know how to draw up, read, and understand the contract, no need for an agent at all.

Sonoma Napa Mendecino and Lake Co/s... when the pot growers started in the late 80's we then could sell for cash..
