I'm not the fair housing landlord expert but I'd probably steer away from referring to it as "veteran housing"Either way I can relate to your situation a little because I also own a house that is shared by multiple people.

We have lots of interest and showings, so we feel our rental rate is right at market.

This deal reaffirmed the importance of partnering with local market experts like Erika Gilbert.

Rogers Park is more for older families I feel like, and for me being in my 20s, I'd like to be a bit closer to the action.But overall, I'm happy with my place, and I like my neighborhood.

Feel free to reach out any time.
