Hello From Chicago
I'm a 34y/o male living in Downtown Chicago. Recently I've been kicking around the idea of buying a low income property ( 50K or Less ) in the South Chicago area and using it as a rental. This is all new to me so my gameplan is to do as much homework as possible (how I found this site). Will be doing some reading over the next couple weeks trying to get some answers and better formulate a plan for my next move.
Looking forward to using this site because feedback from a few experienced investors (esp. locals) would be worth more than any of the books I've read already.
Thx,
Nate
