The rent INCLUDED oil heat, water, and trash.

I currently run the day to day operations of Foreclozd.com which specializes in the purchase, improvement, wholesale and retail of Cook & DuPage County properties sold at the judicial foreclosure auctions. 

Thanks @Justin Cooper, @Brennen Cook & @Derek Jones

At that point if there is an oil tank its usually floating around and leaking oil.  

Two years ago when oil dropped from $100 to $50 barrel, their occupancy actually went up slightly from 92 to 93% while Class A fell off a cliff in some areas down 20% or more.  

May be worth seeking out an attorney who only handles Cook County evictions for some advice.

Oil base all the way, latex doesn't hold up on cabinetry/trim.  

There are also other smaller markets in both states where you can do very well investing based on oil prices and pick up properties very cheap that will rent for more then 2%.

@Jeremy Hunsberger @Allen Chaney @Jarrod Cook sounds good guys!

Some I don't even use an application because no one speaks English, they don't have bank accounts and work in all cash businesses (landscaper, mason, bakery, restaurant cook, etc).
