Ray,
I think it's important to know if you flip or buy and hold and what price point you're at. The Chicago area has a great deal to offer. So does Northwest Indiana. The taxes, closing costs and purchase prices in Indiana, are much lower than Illinois. It just depends on what your goals are.
Good Luck!
