A little about me so you know who you're responding to: I'm a Notre Dame grad, Chicago Public Schools Physics Teacher, originally from New Orleans, La. 

Let me guess a Notre Dame fan???

Events like Clemson Graduation and popular home games fetch a fairly good rate.I am realizing that I need to make sure the high demand games are priced appropriately.I found out the hard way that the Clemson Notre Dame game was a $2000 weekend after I had it rented for less than half that.Football games are the off season for a Lake house.

Mike, Dame I think your right. 

Other local banks to South Bend are 1st Source, Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, Teachers Credit Union, AAA Credit Union. 

@Eric Dame, I like the strategy of buying cash and then using delayed financing.

Oscar,We also have a variety of properties to offer in Northwest Indiana, mostly in South Bend IN (home of Notre Dame) which is going through a "growth spurt" as we speak!  

-Before we depart on Saturday night, we would like to spend the first half of the day at Notre Dame in South Bend).We are looking to spend our time driving key neighborhoods and meeting with key members of our future team. 

UCLA, Cal, Notre Dame, USC, Maryland, and Arkansas are all on the Texas non-conference schedule in future years too.

Matthew Jones it bought me a house a few blocks from Notre Dame so we can chalk that up to different markets.
