The purpose of the study is to learn what it's like to live-in and own a small rental building in the city of Chicago. I am interested in hearing about your experiences.

Interviews take place over video chat or telephone, depending on your preference. Each interview lasts about 1 to 2 hours, and is completely confidential. Only one interview is required and pays $45 as a gesture of thanks for your time.
