My father owns 3 town house units in Hazel Crest, IL and he has had pretty bad tenants and he constantly is fixing something they broke by himself.

The sister is just willing to place someone in the house RENT FREE just for the sake of someone being there since the property is a hour and a half away.Is there a way to remove the sister out of the picture without stepping on toes too bad? 

I've made a lot of really bad decisions.

Either way the process isn't too bad, best of luck.

If you do then expect a fight.

I don't want to do that because it would be bad for resale.I know there are those split systems, but those seem pretty spendy. 

When the furnace is bad and the roof needs to be replaced then the house can't be purchased by "normal" people who need a "normal" loan.

Too bad I am a day late. 

But that's not a bad thing, you can use this in your negotiations when buying a property.There is a database in the state that shows if there's been a lead inspection, but right now they're about a year behind in updating it, so if the property has been inspected in the last year, it probably won't show up.

DaltonIt seems that your city may not be a bad place to start.
