Anyways, back to Chicago, I have been there a few times, although mostly d-town and north-bound (Wrigley field area)... to me it is world-class, beautiful, clean, rich, affluent, safe... but I am aware of 'what they say about the South'Yes, I am from Canada, and no, I do not 'understand' what a rough area is... a random mugging, kidnapping or murder here is simply unheard of... in a 4million ppl city.Social net is much higher, you will never go hungry here, guns are pretty much inexistant.

I understand the elected officials are corrupt, the taxes are fairly high, the city has a good deal of murders occurring on a daily basis but in my experience I have found that most of the information published online and talked about on the news channels seem to be a few months behind what is actually happening on the ground.This interests me because I am a real estate agent currently in the Washington DC area and the Chicago market at this current time is similar to Washington DC in the mid-2000's before it went gangbusters and everyone was buying up places in the "nicer" parts of the city.What eventually happened was investors moved out of the safe zones and moved into the hood, the most surprising neighborhood being Trinidad, Trinidad was so bad the police blocked off the neighborhood and made you present ID at checkpoints to get into the neighborhood, true story. 5 short years later people are spending 800k on four level renovated rowhomes that are walking distance to shops and restaurants.I understand the Chicago economy is not held up by the government like the Washington DC market is, but, all the realtor blogs I've read over the last two weeks seem to indicate that certain neighborhoods are "hot" and homes are selling quickly (Avondale, Portage Park, Humboldt Park, Bucktown, Wicker Park...etc), is this still the case?

If it's a problem with the plumbing and significant areas of the flooring, walls, or ceilings need to be opened up and it becomes too disruptive to the tenants or hazardous, an offer to house the family in a hotel for the time being would be in order.However, mystery water soaking a carpet brings to mind an incident in one of our properties... the tenant's brother-in-law hooked up his washing machine and didn't secure the water exhaust hose properly.
