Whiting IN?

[Henry L.]

Considering in the next year buying a duplex or triplex in Whiting IN and renting out the other units while living in one for free and hopefully still cash flowing a bit. Any issues or concerns with this area? Good purchase price per unit? Another area I looked at that has some duplexes under 100k is Humboldt Park in Chicago about 5 minutes west of where I live now (Wicker Park) but unsure of the safety aspects/tenant quality? Seems it is very block by block and could either appreciate or depreciate. Would not want to live anywhere I could not safely walk dog at night, etc. 

I drove through the Whiting area last week and by the water it looked very nice. Lots of newly rehabbed houses. Beach in walking distance. Only 20 minutes or so to city.

I have seen some CRE in this area also.

@Andrew Goodwin would you be able to chime in regarding the Robertsdale neighborhood within Whiting?  I've seen some properties pop up here also.  I see most 1BD/1BA rentals for for $550-$750, which is a large range.  Would love to know your thoughts.
