If you are in Chicago you really need an attorney because your resident will get on for free in the Peoples Republic of Cook County.I am not an attorney, do not play one on TV and this is not to be considered legal advice.

Hi Lou,I've closed at Old Republic Title Company on 5627 N Classen Blvd.

 I moved from Dominican republic to lynn 5 years ago. 

I am using the credit card rewards gathered during this time to partially fund a trip to the Dominican Republic in a month to celebrate and recharge.

Given you live in the socialist republic of California, I know evictions are much harder, but $20K seems very high. 

I have had great success with Dorrie Gengler from Old Republic Title in Clackamas OR...She has been Great.Also Todd Williams from Umpquah Bank is a great lender resource for a local bank.
