We don't give references of clients phone numbers, we respect everyone's privacy because people have been abused.

However, the rental is in a bit of an urbanized environment which all applicants cannot fit our income or credit requirements.

We settled on $1200, $1000, and $800 for the three units respectively, meaning that we would pay $36k a year for all three units, and Brian was willing to defer the rent for 3 months so we could build our cash flow.

So much disrespect thrown out towards Chicago and specifically the South Side of the city, I hope the numbers will change a few minds.In the words of a local developer I highly respect Leon Walker "the difference between Gentrification and Venture Development is INTENT” http://www.dl3realty.com/venturedevelopmentIf you are not in the City, you may not know there is a tremendous resurgence happening on the South Side of Chicago.As a native of Brooklyn, if you would have told me my neighborhood as a child in the 80s (Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY) would have turned into Million Dollar homes a on every block I would have laughed at you.

Martin Brodeur and Patrick Roy, respectively.

If the tenant is not civil and respectful, as I to them, they get a notice of termination.
