Very liberal governance . 

Hard Money Lenders are non regulated lending institutions. 

For those who truly want to come into the communities and improve the neighborhood  they find that urban governments are rolling out the red carpet.I would love to know what others think on this topic?   

Unfortunately with the wacky laws and regulations the city makes it very tough for success long term.

I lost a few grand in down payment and closing costs, but with ICE in Chicago, the government shutdown, 2 vacancies; and repairs needed I might have dodged a major bullet. 

The government shut down did hurt, but rents for these types of Temporary Duty (TDY) last between 3-6 months at 2x the LTR rent sometimes more.

About to try and pull some government list.
