South side of Chicago is very nuanced but will have dramatic effects.

But the banks we dealt with always wanted numbers run on fair market in case the Sec8 market dries up-- it usually does when a lot of investors flood in.Subsidized tenants are a great way to boost your annual ROI. 

We now have a couple of tenants that work remotely so we may supply hi-speed internet as a rental boost incentive.During my University years I dated a girl whose father ran his legal firm from his homes poolside & his business happy hours were a blast.

Ironically, I believe that most of our upcoming financial woes will not be fully due to the government or to Wall Street (though they will both be part of it), but moreso will be due to our crumbling educational system, the lack of focus on higher education (all the idiots who want us to believe that higher ed is for 'elitists') and lack of entrepreneurship (resulting from the degradation in education).The countries that are already starting to kick our butts economically (China, India, etc) are the ones that have seen dramatic rises in their educational standards over the past 10 years and are the ones that continue to prioritize education for their children.I find it amusing that people think that there's been a dramatic turn of events in this country, yet completely ignore the long, slow slide from economic, educational and healthcare superpower 20 years ago to what we are now -- mediocre at best compared to much of the rest of the first world.
