Looking for referrals in Rockford, IL

[Robert Timm]

Hey everyone!

I'm a beginner investor wanting to get into real estate and I'm researching some different areas. My search has brought me to Rockford, IL because there are many potential properties in my budget and I'm somewhat familiar with the area as it's close to where I grew up. 

I'd also love to hear any recommendations from those who have invested in this area. What are some dos/don'ts for Rockford whether positive or negative?

Thanks!

Bob
