Main Home: My thoughts were that they have breached the contract by not providing the keys or allowing entry to the property with proper notice.

Good times....I used to think it was cloudy too until I realized that it was always clear on Sundays - that's when all the factories are shut down.The pool and gym in my complex were closed daily from 11am-1pm so as "to give people two choices - a morning or afternoon session - instead of just one". 

One of the main reasons I chose my brokerage is how much they work with investors. 

For that reason, Chicago will not be my choice. 

My credit which is usually in the mid to upper 700s in the upper 600s right now due to the new card and mainly the debt utilization rate I presume. 

@Jacob W. in general the areas inside the I 630 are good choice. this areas looks fine according to the Crime map here.Perhaps try to get First home buyers loan with low deposit.

This is not always the best choice, so use it wisely.  

Since we don't live in the states, we're trying to get creative with our funding and investment areas but we haven't seemed to pick definitives in either category (although we have been checking out Georgia and Ohio mainly since they seem to be in our budget). 

The increase exposure on E&O is the main hurdle. 

I am assuming the house is not in a great neighborhood.However, if he is not in a rush, I bet you can find a buyer in 150-185 range because it is still a cheap investment for out of state investors.Your main problem, you will need a cash buyer.
