(not saying Chicago is perfect, just saying in the Midwest, I find it pro business on a grass roots level).Good Luck!

Just spent a nice afternoon in Cleveland.. like what i saw of this rust belt city... looks like another one on its way up.Looks like we will plant some investment roots.

@Carolynn Howard Hi Carolyn, its great to see Clevelanders investing back in their roots.

My roots in real estate began as a wholesaler who bought and sold houses with very little money.

This looks a little more philosophical in nature, and it's hard to make objective arguments against something like BRRR because there is so much preference rooted in the reason many investors choose this strategy.- Firstly, the fact that most flips don't pencil out as rentals is the converse of what we're discussing.

The root of this is you need to know how to fix and maintain houses, has nothing to do with sex.

Bleach is good only for changing the color of the mold and watering the roots of the mold.CHLORINE BLEACH IS INEFFECTIVE IN KILLING MOLD FOR THESE REASONS: (1) The object to killing mold is to kill its “rootsâ€.

Yet my comments are rooted more in the insane amount of tenant weeding that needs to be done even to find an OK renter these days. 

Any political imbalances would likely to be rebalanced pretty quick if it got really bad here - too much rooted $$$$$.Overall, I think there is a cooling going on, but we still have a backlog of major projects in the LA area, and major venues like the LucasFilm Museum, Olympics in 2028, etc. and continued growth in transit options.

The root problem you need to solve is the large monthly bills.
