The Tate Brothers Just Dropped Real Estate Gems on the South Side
At Community Wealth Building Day, the Tate Brothers shared how homeownership can build wealth and bring Chicago’s South and West Side communities back to life.
Hey there, Chicago Southsiders!
What does it take to build generational wealth in our community?
According to the Tate Brothers — actors, entrepreneurs, and proud Chicagoans — it starts with something simple but powerful: owning a piece of property.

On April 12th, we were on the ground at Olive-Harvey College for the Community Wealth Building Day hosted by the Dearborn Realtist Board, where the focus was loud and clear: turning dreams into addresses for families across Chicago.
The Tate Brothers, originally from Chicago’s West Side (don’t worry, we won’t hold that against them 😉), dropped major gems about building wealth, restoring trust, and rebuilding communities from within.
Here’s a taste of what they shared:
💬 "It’s Monopoly, for real. You buy one property, leverage it to buy the next. Then use the equity to build a business. That’s how we create a portfolio — and a future."
💬 “We’re super consumers, but not super producers. That has to change.”
This was a call to action.
The Dearborn Realtist Board has been doing this work since 1941. Their mission? Democracy in housing.
