Hi Folks - I'm interested in learning more about and potentially investing in tax-free municipal bonds.

I put the first mello roos in nevada county 11 million bond issue.. we had 480 lots  built the first 110... all presold ... the earth quake the war and we did not close a one... it took 20 years plus to unwind that deal.. although I was up there last summer and it was all built out  so someone did OK with it.I have 4 subdivisions going now biggest is 27 lots  so not doing anything major and trying to get in an out in 12 to 18 months but I hear ya..

Hard to go wrong with 5% yield on 1 year treasury bonds.  

I own a newer construction company in the Los Angeles area and we are licensed and bonded.

Also, it seems like the eviction process is rather lengthy, how would you rate Chicago's landlord friendliness?

I  have full teams all  are licensed  all are bonded all have references .

Needless to say, these increases wreak havoc on investor pro formas.I had a lengthy discussion with my insurance agent who is searching for a new policy but the short of it is that insurance claim fraud has never been higher in the state of Florida. 

I started using these general guidelines to correctly measure performance in real estate, especially since I wanted to compare performances of other investments such as stocks, bonds, etc.
