Due to recent building code changes, you can build a framed building up to 4 stories on a slab, which significantly reduces the overall cost of new construction.

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

It changes daily.

This is a question that has come up a million times and will continue coming up forever in Chicago unless eventually things change one way or another.

You can change a house.

Minimal changes to effect common entrances, no major shifts in load bearing, easy plumbing changes for wherever the new kitchen would be... it's a lot of boxes to check. 

The market in the area is dynamic and continually changing.

The zoning changes will make California a hot real estate market.
