Chicago area investing

[Benaiah Savage]

Hello to any Chicago realtors. I am a young man looking to try to find investment property anywhere in Chicago, but specifically on the southside. I am really new to all this research. I have been looking throw some of the posts to figure out and understand some of the real estate jargon. I have already made a post and was suggested to start off with a single family unit. Even with that suggestion I do not know where to start besides getting employed. Can anyone in the Midwest give a starter some advice?
