@Steve Cook - I use Sean Clapp in Indy.

Check this thread out for a number of recent experiences with the long wait time to get tenants out:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/81/topics/122507-eviction-time-in-cook-countyI wouldn't count on any particular time line for getting a tenant out - it can take far, far longer than you would ever expect.Also wanted to comment on what subsidy Section 8 tenants get - I don't believe it's a set percentage, it completely varies based on their situation.

The subfloor is a living area of approximately 5,000 square ft. that includes five bedrooms, kitchen, office, storage area, recreation area and toilet facilities. http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucdsclnk?

This is a first for me so I'm a little concerned and was hoping I could get a little imput for anyone in my area ( Cook County IL ).Back in October 2012 I started the eviction process on a tenant that stop paying rent.

After a year of sitting, they almost always end up having problems anyway)......But the one risk I'd add is that you're investing in cook county.

So, unless your evictions are 5 month marathons like Cook County, I would still probably do it.The fact that they asked to have him move in is a real good sign though.

I'm working on a parcel right now that has some old graves on it, is bordered on 3 sides by an old landfill, a sewage treatment plant, and a radioactive waste storage facility, and there are 2 homeless squatters who have been camping on it for 5 years. 2.)

Originally posted by Account Closed:We're not local investor, but in Cook County Illinois, the best place to check for the current address of the owner is not the assessor's office; it's the Treasure's office.  

A property behind one of ours suffered a similar fate early in the spring, it turned out the tenant was cooking shatter when things exploded.

Then if no one waited on you because everyone was busy and the server for your table was not due in for 30 minutes would you go back into the kitchen and cook your own?
