You say you are a newbie. If this is going to be your first deal, why not do something in Virginia? Richmond and Hampton Roads are great markets. For one, the strong military presence means stability.

 Hey Ron! I am working with a small group who wanted to target the Chicago market. My hope is to work with the group to close a deal there, while also keeping my eyes open for local opportunities and heading up the next project out here. I do agree that the Richmond market is great though. I'll keep my eye on Hampton roads as well. Do you have any investments in the Virginia market?

@Calvin Lipscomb Jr welcome to the forum! Which areas of the Chicago market are you looking in, and what are some of your criteria as far as neighborhoods? 

 Hi John! Thanks for the welcome. Right now I am looking at the South Shore area not too far from the lake. Looking for buy and hold properties in the area as I like the long term potential. Through my research and speaking with people I've been advised not to go too far west due to crime rates. Do you have any insight on the South Shore area?

Hi All! I am a new member to BP and I live in the Richmond, VA area. I am getting into the small multi-family investment area (5-20 units) and am interested in making new connections. My goals are to complete a deal in the Chicago area (looking to buy and hold) and to begin a rehab/renovation project as well.  I am interested in learning more about connecting with the right lenders to obtain financing for deals and general investment information in the Chicago market. I am looking forward to networking and connecting with people in this forum!
