Bloomington Normal IL - Investing Stat's

[Mark Bommarito]

Hi,

I live in California but recently have been looking into the possibility of investment opportunities in Bloomington/ Normal IL.    I am interested in multi-family residential and residential fix and flips.  

Is there any investors on BP that are currently investing in this area and can share their experiences in these areas?  What investment strategies work best in this area.

One reason i see this area as a good possibility to start out is that this area is not far from other large metropolitan areas that could offer other great investment opportunities as a get more experienced.   

Thanks for any feedback/ comments.
