How to research Chicago

Start with date-level comparable listings, not annual averages. Map summer, conventions, and major event weekends, then sample ordinary weekdays and the softest visible period. Verify local requirements directly with the city, county, state tax authority, HOA, insurer, and lender. Save URLs and the verification date.

Local thesis: Chicago is driven by major city; the likely guest is business leisure and event travelers; the formats most worth testing are transit-friendly apartments. Those are hypotheses to validate, not promises.
