Chicago Rental Properties
Hello,
I am new to real estate investing and want to buy rental properties within Chicago and surrounding areas. In what areas would you recommend I buy my first rental property? I am interested in multi family rentals, single family, and utilizing the BRRR method. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs are ideal for rental properties and Building Reconstruction Redevelopment (BRRRRR) due to proximity to major development projects, affordable multi-family units, and strong rental demand. To use the BRRRR method, target 2-4 unit properties, look for emerging neighborhoods, network with local contractors, factor in property taxes, and work with an investor-friendly agent.
Good luck!
