First Time REI in Springfield, Il

[Benjamin Kelley]

Hello all, I just moved to central il and am looking to become a first-time investor in Springfield, IL. Any other investors, local knowledge, or realtors would be handy. I'd be looking to buy and hold mostly rent-ready 3b2b single-family homes probably around 100-130k. If anyone has tried this strategy in this area I'd be curious to know how it worked, or if something else works for you. I know appreciation isn't great here, but cash flow seems decent and that's what I will focus on for now, because my full-time job doesn't pay much. Thanks!
