Questions About Investing In Chicago

[Emma Chen]

Hello all BPers from Chicago,

My name is Emma. I am an out-of-state investor from San Diego. I am currently looking into Chicago for buying some rental properties because I have heard a lot good things about Chicago. I have some questions about the local rental market:

1. What neighborhoods/zip codes are good and safe for rentals?

2. Any recommendations for good local property managers, wholesalers and conventional loan broker?

3. What's average price(range) for a 3br/2ba SFR? and what's rent$ for the house?

4. Is small multifamily(2-6 units) easy to be rented out comparing to SFR?

5. Any other suggestions/tips about investing in the market?

Thank you so much for your time.
