Lurker first post - Orange County CA, San Antonio, Chicago

[David W.]

Greetings

I first discovered BP around 2006 via google.   I've read many of the blog and forum posts over the years.  But just started listening to the podcasts while cleaning up and prepping one my rentals in San Antonio.  

I'm based on Orange County CA, small business owner and work in advertising, television, media.  My career has very little overlap with RE, however we currently own three 4/2 SF homes in San Antonio.   All three are cash flowing and long term.  We started looking in 2010, and I wish I had committed at that time...  We closed on our first rental mid 2013. 

We are getting ready to make our next purchase and I'm very interested in the Chicago market.  Single family in the Oak Lawn, Burbank, Mt Greewood area.  Or, possibly a turn key 2 flat on the south side.   My sister lives in the city and travels throughout the neighborhoods listed for her job, also not in real estate.

San Antonio has been good to us, we may pickup another single family on the north side, above the airport.  However, the returns in Chicago look better and I would like to diversify location and demographic.

Looking to learn more about the Chicago market, TK providers, possibly an agent with investor knowledge and management companies.   

Thanks in advance.
