Sheffield in Lakeview which was mentioned in an article in Smart Money Magazine about taking advantage of declining home prices in March 2008. See our March 2008 chatter […]

Southport in Graceland West several times (and yes, we had a discussion about whether or not this is “Lakeview” or “Ravenswood” or “Graceland West”.) See our December 2009 chatter here. The unit had all the bells and whistles including central air and an in-unit […]

We’ve chattered about this 2-flat at 1524 W. Byron in Lakeview several times in the last 2 years. Much of the chatter was about what price makes sense for a buyer who wants to be a landlord. See our January 2010 chatter here. In that time, it appears that the rents have actually been falling on […]
