Should I continue to invest in Illinois or focus on Indiana

Hello BP,

I own 3 multi-family buildings in Chicago.  I have plans to ramp up my real estate investing.  I would love to acquire another handful of buy and hold rentals over the next few years.  I have also been contemplating aiming to do one or two flips per year.  I am very close to the Indiana border.  Over the last several months I have been seeing a lot of articles about a mass exodus from Illinois to surrounding states due to high property taxes and other factors.  At the same time, I work for a property tax firm, and it seems that there are still many investors that see potential in the Chicago area. Does anyone have any advice as to where i should continue to invest.  I don't think I currently have the access to funds to invest in higher end properties at this point.
