., just finished cleaning it up, so instead of great night with friends, drinking a vat of Irish whiskey after a nice hot shower.    

Right now I switched back to a book that was a little more detailed and I am cleaning out all of my welcome emails that have tons of reading information. 

We can get the mess cleaned up and get the property "working" fast.

Although im no way an expert or experience if i were in that situation i would go ahead and veiw the property just because from what the seller is stating it may be move in ready and not require not much of any repairs besides the thermostat (hope its just that and nothing electrical).if so you may get an investor to puchase just below retail.

Morning all, Does anyone have a cleaning company for multi unit common areas that works on the southside of Chicago, Hyde Park, Washington Park, Woodlawn, Bronzeville, & South Chicago?

@Lynn M.I will agree that a tenant with good credit is better and playing the waiting game is a better strategy for many property owners, especially for properties in high demand.For those who own property in less desirable areas where the applicant pool is smaller or in situations where paying the mortgage without collecting rent would put the owner in a bad financial position, I think simply checking for judgments and criminal records is good enough.Of course I'm willing to accept a higher degree of risk than most property owners because my costs are lower due to the fact that I process my own evictions and many times do the clean-outs/repairs myself.I've learned that it is good idea to at least check for non-existence of rental judgments because that is a sign that either they will leave the property when asked or that they've never rented a property before in their own name because they are young.

clean and simple. 

Having tenants do odd jobs, such as clean-up, grass-cutting, or landscaping as a way to reduce rent may be construed as “consideration” and potentially subject you to carrying WC insurance.

The last 1 we put in had A LOT of dried thinset, grout, paint, etc in it (damn contractors) and it cleaned up perfectly.  

Your lease will have more or less depending on your needs.Steam Cleaning: I require the tenant to professionally steam clean the carpet upon move out and provide the Landlord with receipts.Professional Cleaning: Tenant is required to return the house in the manner such that it appears to be professionally cleaned.
