Worth it to Pay First 2017 RE Tax Installment before End of Year?

[Malcolm Douglas]

I am curious - Living in Chicago, both a high state income and real estate tax district, does it make sense to try and pay the first RE tax installment of my 2017 bill before year end?  I will be over the newly proposed 10k threshold once the law is enacted and therefore unable to make the full deduction for 2018. 

I understand there's a time value of money factor here but curious if other RE investors in similar cities are doing/considering this strategy, if at all possible.
