Bongs on the table, clothes, food, garbage everywhere.

I also check court records in cook, dupage, will, kane, and lake counties.

At least 4 cats have lived in the house with her at all times, and any number of feral cats come and go at will because she left lots of food out for them. 

I'm a bit late to this, but I saw an old tennis court made into a cool cook-out area with just some picnic tables and built in charcoal grills like you see in parks.seems like you have too many courts to just do that, but maybe that plus woodchips and playground equipment would work.

The tenants had stuffed food inside it when they were evicted and it was crawling with maggots.

As a Berkeley grad, enjoy that East Bay food!!

@Monique Cook, perhaps you could start by putting up a summary of your OWN pros vs cons?

It's potluck style so you can bring food, drinks, or chip in.

Many people do not have enough reserves--both for their rental property business or even for their own personal financial health--and it would be fantastic to see us as a population be better with our money.For personal expenses, I ideally like to have 6 months of all my expenses (mortgage, utilities, food, misc, every single monthly bill, even the ones I don't *need* to be conservative).

Benjamin Cook You have many options, you can invest locally in your community or if the market is not a great market you can invest out of state, you can lend money, or you can invest in mortgage notes which is what I do.I like notes because you are the lienlord (bank) and not a landlord so you don’t have to deal with tenants, toilets or termites
