Newbie from south chicago area

Jake Marotta
Posted

Hi bigger pockets members, I am Jake Marotta. I live in a south suburb of the Chicagoland area in illinois. I have a full time construction job as a pipefitter, but have been researching and looking into buying some rental property. Single family or small multifamily. My long term goal is to bring in enough cash flow so I dont have to fear getting laid off (which happens often in construction). Would love to get your opinions on the chicago market

@Jake Marotta - Glad you're reaching out! I would recommend to keep doing what you're doing and talk to others in the area.

It might help to listen to The Straight up Chicago Investor podcast to get an idea of the different areas and what they're known for. Chicago is a huge place, and you'll get a different experience in every neighborhood.
