Angeline,
There are amazing grant programs in Lake County. There are some straight up grants while others are down payment programs where you can get up to $50,000 in down payment money! It would take me a half hour to type out the details, but if you give me a call or send me an e-mail with your information, I'd be glad to get materials over to you explaining all the programs. My number is 847-736-3176 and my e-mail is mstodola@ksgmac.com

Good luck!

Building a custome home in Highland Park

Mike Stodola answered:
Here is a builder who not only builds luxury homes, but also builds Green Homes. These can be true zero energy homes (complete with solar shingles) or just "Green" homes. I've attached their website below, but if you want to explore a meeting with them, please let me know. My phone and e-mail are 847-557-1622 or mstodola@ksgmac.com. I hope this is helpful. - Mon Oct 6 2008, 09:34

I'd love to answer all your questions here but we have a whole marketing plan for any rental properties we represent and manage. As far as the rental market goes for a two bedroom home in Highland Park the range is pretty big. you have several competitors offering their homes for anything from $1,000 to about $1,600 a month. A lot obviously depends on the location, size and condition of the home. I'd be happy to give you a free, no obligation 'Pinpoint Price Analysis' that would only take about 15-20 minutes of your time if you'd find that helpful. At the same time I could give you ideas about marketing as well as show you our marketing plan for rentals should you decide to hire a real estate agent to get your home rented for you. For your information we also do property management for clients who don't want the hassles of rent collection, tenant screening, maintenance etc... Please feel free to give me a call or e-mail at 847-557-1622 or MStodola@ksgmac.com

Thanks and good luck!
