Hello all!

  So me and my girlfriend are doing our studying up on the world of real estate.. we own a property in the west suburbs of chicago, and are looking into moving and renting the home we are currently in.. we currently pay about $720-750/mo.. we could potentially rent it for about 1.2-1.3k/mo.. is that something i should think about doing? we mostly have the resources to get another place for us to stay.. is there anyone that could offer me some advice or send a link my way to give me a little bit more of a heading? im pretty new to all of this.. thanks for all the great info on this site and much love everyone!

Josh T.

Remember to factor in things such as vacancy, insurance, repairs, etc. To me it doesnt sound to bad to make the move
