Neighborhoods in Chicago

[Kendall Moore]

Hi everyone, I've been searching for multifamily units in the Chicago area. I have notice a lot of people discuss Greater Grad Crossing a lot. Does any one know why this area is so hot at the moment?  Just trying to get a sense as to what are the next up and coming neighborhoods of Chicago. I've tried to search other post but most are from a few years ago. This is my first purchase in Chicago and I am looking in the 200k range.

@Kendall Moore I wouldn't call it an up and coming area. You would definitely need boots on the ground to do well there. 

For an out of state investor, I always recommend buying in as nice of an area as you can afford. The less turn over you have, the more profit you will have. If you can get a place where tenants will stay for the long term, then you will win over time.
