Which Chicago Suburbs are good areas for investing (flip)
Hello,
I’ve been doing realty investing since 2014 and been happy and successful on this endeavor. Most of my investing has been FixNFlip and only in Chicago. I want to branch out to the burbs. Any good areas?

@Johnny Galvan there are many, many great areas in Chicago and there are just as many terrible areas. What qualifies as a "good" area for you? Why are you branching out to the burbs? I doubt you will find the suburbs any less competitive than the city. The whole Chicago metro area is on fire right now and there is low inventory. Any time I list a house it goes under contract quickly and there are multiple offers.
