Some Traveling Around Part I

[chris08876]

Some pics from some of my trips. Not aiming for beauty.

Start off with Chicago.

From Chicago, we travel briefly to the Caribbean.

Nice trip. However I wonder who built these buildings and who own these buildings?
Build a tall building is not as easy as just a think, where the money comes from?

I presume this is your first adventure into real estate given the questions you ask?

If so, one way to find out who owns or what parties are involved in a certain land plot or parcel is to look up a tax GIS. Every "state".gov site should have them. Click on the parcel and find out the info. An example being ACRIS for NYC.

Most skyscrapers are financed by banks. Often they apply for loans. Some out of pocket depending on the developer, but the majority is due to bank financing. Also nowadays, eb-5 is popular. Without going into lecture mode and making this an essay on a pic sub forum, just read some of the threads.

But glad you liked it. These where taken years ago at a time when I too was a noob.

Great start! Chicago is high on our bucket list.

I don't konw, all of sudden I feel Chicago feels better than NYC according to your photos.

Maybe less dense than Manhattan, or styles, I don't know.
