If not on the site, call them - they can resolve your issue, may take awhile, may not - But do get the serial # off the Home, so they can do a search and get historic information on that specific home. 

Our condo regulations comply with state STR ordinances, but not the new local/city ones.Does anyone know of a way we can challenge this, or is there any way we can get some type of exemption or waiver (perhaps historical precedent, or "zoning by right")? 

Hey @Jordan Gerkin - We typically look at the historical data in conjunction with talking with some Chicago tax attorneys. 

Historical trends ( looking back thru the last cycle) Monthly Sales trends on an annual basis.

Historically I have been very data driven when it comes to screening.

Historically speaking, metropolitan cities have an average of 5% vacancy rate and smaller towns are usually 10%.

The market here is already historically hot (prices have shot up and inventory is way down) so it'll been interesting to watch how things develop this year.

It was an adorable four square style home with 3.5 levels of living on the NW side of Chicago, on a somewhat historic block, right near a rapidly developing area.

But either way, I agree with finding out market rent/vacancy, historical operating expenses, current lease terms, (what type of lease/where they are at in the lease ect.) 

While I agree that customer staples are somewhat recession resistant as well, I definitely concur with this ranking that RE beats it out, since typically during recessions people do still need to buy staples but will still usually decrease the AMOUNT they're buying (cutting down their consumption, making things stretch further, and not "stocking up" as much as they would in non-recessionary times such as only buying 1 stick of deodorant at a time instead of buying 10 at a time), so demand and gross revenue for these products will see a temporary decline during recessionary times moreso than RE historically does.
