Should I invest in Chicago? Why or why not? If so, where?

[Albert Chun]

Hi all,

I’m currently a grad student at Harvard, and I plan to move to the Windy City for work after I graduate this May. I’m interested in looking for real estate markets and a good balance between big city and place to raise kids. Chicago popped on my radar. What are your thoughts on Chicago from an investor point of view? What factors would you consider? What other cities would you look at considering the factors I offered?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Albert, the BiggerPockets podcast is fantastic for anything RE investing related, but I also like to tune in to Keeping it real by DJ Paris podcast. They are based in Chicago and talk to a lots of Chicago brokers on their show. Very interesting and might be helpful to you.
