Becoming a franchise owner of pizza restaurants in a city with property values that plummet after a major attack would be the smartest move in investment on Harry's part. The wild Fae would agree. Then he truly would be The 'Za Lord.
Basil:
Just a few thoughts on Castle Dresden:
(1) I don't think Harry will lack for the money to build out Castle Dresden and a limited budget can go a long way. He has the services of the only honest contractor in the State of Illinois.
(2) The City of Chicago would have to be able to find the castle in order to put a tax lien on it. I see no reason that it can't be veiled by confusion/avoidance wards to prevent service of process.
(3) Lara's dowry ought to cover quite a few supplies and renovations. Mab is old fashioned enough to include this in the price if the wedding actually happens.
(4) Pizza delivery guys go EVERYWHERE and no one really pays attention to them. Just saying.

I could see Harry becoming owner of Pizza S’Press, it is a local chain (anyone else hear of it in their hometown, no) and there is a line to extent in BG and Toot has already adopted the livery and logo of the firm. The livery was provided by Winter, I doubt Mab would be happy to use someone else’s sigil in relation to warriors of winter as that could be used against them, so she probably owns the IP and therefore the chain. We know Winter is loaded.
Can’t think of a better wedding present for Harry from Mab especially given Harry explains to Mab in BG the neuromancy involved in binding the Little Folk. She would see it as a smart move consolidating the Winter Knights Power over the Little Folk, given how useful they were.
This would make Toot very, very happy. lacuna not so much, and would give Harry a source of both income and pizza. He was worried how he was going to afford all the pizza and wanted to bill Marcone.
One thinks of dowries, but a wedding is also for gifts for the happy couple.
StrayDog:
Any dowry would only be Lara giving a gift to Lara. She controls Lord Raith after all. On several occasions we see that Lara has complete control of the entire Raith holdings.
