Newbie moving to Chicago, IL or Dallas, TX

[Fabricio Kannenberg]

Hi Everyone,

I am graduating from business school next year and want to start planning and acting of my future financial freedom. 

For my future job, I can choose between Chicago, IL or Dallas, TX as my base. 

From my previous learnings, my initial strategy is to invest in a duplex and "house hack" while gaining more experience to invest in additional properties. 

I would love to get some advice on which location is best to invest.

Thank You!

@Fabricio Kannenberg Welcome! I'm an investor in Dallas and I, myself, invested first and foremost into a duplex and house-hacked it and went from there. It's been a tremendous opportunity for me - and allowed me to catapult myself into investing further. DFW is definitely a great market but it's also very competitive. Deals definitely come around - but when they do you have to be quick to jump on it.
