Still looking for new purchase-Elgin, IL?

[John Philippo]

Good afternoon everyone. I'm still looking for my first purchase in the western suburbs of Chicago but finding a lot of markets are fairly cost prohibitive (at least for a first purchase). I'm looking to find either a single family or small multi-family buy and hold investment property and I'm gravitating towards Elgin. Price of entry seems low but rent prices are fairly stable. I'm only located a 30 minute drive away, and there is some potential for growth in the market (my opinion).

If anyone has ever invested in Elgin or has any thoughts I would love to hear them. Thanks everyone!
