A RE newbie looking to invest in Rockford, IL

[Chidi Dillibe]

Hello all,

I'm an out of state newbie investor looking at a couple properties in Rockford, IL and would like to get some local insight and help before I pull the trigger. The properties i'm looking at look good in the pictures, buying cost and potential cash flow but a part of me is saying..."If it was this easy, EVERYONE would be doing it". The last thing I want to do is go in on a "good looking" deal that local folks here on BP could easily point out red flags in. I would love to be able to speak with a local Rockford, IL investor and share a couple minutes in a phone call. I know people have busy and demanding lives but any potential help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read.
