Entry to Chicago RE market

[Sung Park]

Hi, I am currently a college student working in Chicago next year. I want to start my RE journey from where I work, so I have been studying how to enter the market. I have been mainly looking into Zillow for a duplex(for myself and to rent) and was not sure of the average price. How would I start tackling the market? Any tips for a newbie? My budget is looking to be around 40k to 100k(If I squeeze a lot)

@Sung Park have you been to Chicago before? Great city to visit but the multifamily sector isn't necessarily owner friendly. Investing north near the gold coast up to Evanston would be a great place to look as well. Have you considered investing in other Midwest cities like Indianapolis, IN, Columbus, OH or Kansas City, MO?
