No costs (only if you want to eat dinner), no dues, no reservations needed.

Even though we got a great deal on the house and will still make money, the holding costs are slowly eating away at the gains.

Live it, breathe it, eat it, and drink it.

More specifically, code section 16-18-070 seems to indicate that it may be possible to get this fee waived if the area meets the goals in the City Space Plan.There are many, many pages of reading material online about the plan, but we are trying to figure out how to tell if the goals for our area are being met.Property is pretty squarely between the actual parks of Wicker Park and Humboldt Park and close to the 606, so this may not be one of the areas of the city requiring additional green space.Basically, if there is a viable way (by meeting current criteria of the City Space Plan) we’d like to not pay the fee if we can supply the correct information.It is very challenging to decipher this and we get one shot at getting the fee waived.If it matters, we are taking an existing 2 flat and turning it into a 3 flat – allowed by area zoning and there are no changes to the footprint of the existing building.We still have more research to do but we couldn’t even find specific information on the progress of the plan’s goals and what areas meet the Open Space Requirements now.16-18-070 Individualized Assessment Of Impact.

Being tied to a low-wage job and being strung along by that employer is today's form of slavery.Negotiations don't change the cost of living, change the terms of mortgages, shorten commute distances, make family members stop eating or needing clothing and shelter, ...Taking on employees means taking ona responsibility.

The amount of money that comes in from out of state and is spent there is huge in the rental housing sector.you add up all the turn key guys there and I bet they are moving hundreds of homes a month in that one market.so that a couple hundred rehabs .. that's investors flying in staying in hotels eat ribs etc.its the trickle down effect. and with the internet and marketing the way it is its truly a global market.. 

Chances are that the credit card company will just eat the charges or the merchant  will and the victim won't be out any money.

@Petra Harper,See those three green dots?

I am really green and would love to learn more, but want to make sure I am seeking the right resources.  

This is my 3rd major rehab so I'm still very green.
