Things to be aware of when choosing a town to invest in?

[Jack Harrington]

I’ve been a member for awhile now, and finally have enough saved up to get started. I have a 3 unit building I am getting ready to make an offer on. The deal looks good so far, but I I don’t know much about the town it is in. So I was wondering what you guys do to educate yourself about the laws, regulations, taxes, dealing with inspectors, etc. for a specific town. I’ve been looking at the towns website, just wondering if there are any other resources to use, or things to think about when going into a new town. I am looking at Addison, IL, if anyone is familiar with the area. Thanks
