Is it dumb to sign a lease in an apartment (nice, but not a high rise) between Marshall field gardens homes, evergreen terrace homes, and Cabrini green? Mid 20s female with roommates, apt is not on first floor.

It sounds like you have a few roommates… so something in a nicer spot would only be slightly more between the three of you! If you’ve got hesitation about it, I wouldn’t recommend doing it. That area has gotten better, but there are better spots to be.

It’s a sublease so it’s only for summer (granted those are the most dangerous months) but I was pretty desperate and unable to find anything and didn’t want to live alone :/

That’s a no for me. I don’t love that part of Sedgwick

You probably won’t be sitting outside having dinner on the patio in the summer in that neighborhood, but certainly a fine place to live! I assume your social life will be east towards Wells and you’re alert at night. I haven’t had issues in that area in years

It’s kind of a dead area. I live in old town and never walk west past the train tracks because sketch and also just nothing there

So possibly silly refinancing question: my understanding of refinancing is that if interest rates lower, you basically start a new mortgage with a new bank at lower rates and pay off your old mortgage. With this, there's some closing costs associated.

Assuming your old bank doesn't want to lose your business (aka, interest payments), why don't they offer to simply reduce the interest rate on your mortgage to what they're currently offering customers?
