Rental Properties in Illinois

[Mitchell Riggs]

Hi all,

New to the forums here and glad to be apart of this community! I have been listening to the podcasts for a little while and have always wanted to get into real estate investing. I am hoping to start with buying/holding or buy/rehab/hold (single-families, duplex, etc.) using BRRRR or similar strategies. The caveat, I live in Illinois which isn't in the best financial shape and doesn't have the nicest property taxes.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make real estate investing lucrative in Chicago's western suburbs and/or Chicago itself? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Mitchell
