Moving to Chicago

[Randy Lance]

Good evening fellow investors.  I have what may be a rather unusual request, as I am looking for recommendations for cities or neighborhoods to move to on the North Side of Chicago.  I am a real estate investors at heart as I have 13 doors currently in Michigan, and will look to follow that same concept in Illinois.

I have looked at Lakeview, Rogers Park, Hoffman Estates, and Itasca, basically anywhere I can get to the city by transit in 30-45 min to downtown, as this is where my new job will be at.  I need ideas and locations to look at and what rents to expect.  I have 2 children, so that will play a huge factor in the location search.  I will eventually look to but maybe a duplex or something but not till after we get acquainted with the city and neighborhoods.

I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and expertise that is on biggerpockets and this seemed like the perfect place to ask my question.

Thank you,

Randy
