The Kankakee Regional Land Bank Authority, a partnership between the City of Kankakee and Kankakee County, is selling abandoned single-family and 2-unit homes ready for rehabilitation.

The first property, a 2-flat on S. Chicago Ave., will receive a new roof from the land bank, with the buyer completing the remaining rehab. An open house on January 31 attracted strong interest. A second open house is scheduled for February 14.

Most land bank properties require moderate to substantial rehab, making them appealing to investors. The land bank will also sell to owner-occupants who can secure financing, such as an FHA 203(k) purchase-rehab loan.
