Chicago Heights experts??

Hey all,

In my search for the best deals in IL I came upon the Chicago Heights area. There seem to be many lower priced homes available, but it certainly doesn't look like a war zone. The houses don't even look that old. What's the story? Why so many foreclosures in this area and are the rents really that good? Is there a glut of rentals available due to the low priced housing? Is it a good place to look further? It's about 2 hours from me, but that's not too difficult.

Thanks for any input!

there's potential and profit but that area has two versions - Great and not so good for those who know it via google. Take it block to block - colleague me and fill me in on your operation methods to see if its for you.
