Rental Market Data for LaSalle County, IL (Ottawa, specifically)

[Dale E.]

Hello BP Members,

I am a new investor looking to get started in SFH and / or a Duplex investment in the LaSalle County region (specific focus in the town of Ottawa). In my research so far, I have had a hard time identifying people to connect with on this topic as most members seem to be focused on markets closer to Chicago.

This is sort of a broad post but I would love to hear from anyone on the following:

- general connection - share learnings, establish local relationship with similar investors, etc.

- share market data - rental market income, vacancies, comps, etc.

- share leads / contacts - suggestions on agents, wholesalers, trusted contractors, etc.

I have done a fair amount of research on my own but really just looking to connect with others and grow my network. As always, I would be happy to share / contribute my knowledge if anyone is willing to chat with me.

Thanks!
