That’s another story.Nevertheless, I’m still concerning what you’d said about the security deposit which I’d also read it from other post that said the same.

My concern though is, it is listed for $259k for both houses, and they are easily worth $50k or more than that together, even if they look like crap on the inside.

The only real reason for concern might be if you feel uncomfortable in the neighborhood you are farming, but then you might want to work in a nicer neighborhood anyway.There are some specific tools that are necessary to employ this technique, for you or your help.

can anyone direct me to more conversation concerning chicago real estate.

These are not investors buying, these are people like you and I who have normal jobs and are just looking for a place to call home.Salaries aside, you didn't even address any of the other issues that I mentioned also play into the cost of housing.

When I started out, I drove through neighborhoods looking for vacants and wrote down addresses and info on about 100 houses.

Partially because of the lack of punctuation and convention grammar, nobody seems to addressed YSP's basic question which is "who sets the value of these homes?".

Evidentially they are suppose to be pretty effective.From the beginning of my RE career I have personally addressed and signed every letter I've sent.

Locally, I wasn't overly concerned until today when there were big news stories about rationing rice.

Anyone know his address so he can be served?
