Connect with all the local meetups in Chicagoland. There is no right or wrong way. The most important trait is action. Remember the proverb "When is the best time to plant a tree" and make that your NorthStar. You will never know enough or be totally ready. BUT almost everyone who stays in the game long enough will move to multfamily for many reasons. My suggestion is start there either through syndication or if active.... start small and grow exponentially. ie start with a 4plex and if you add a new asset every 90 days you will do 4/5 deals in a year and own 124 units. Stay as close to home as possible and self manage the first couple deals if you can. But you are in a great area to invest.

@Joe Splitrock That link DOES NOT compare the plans. Site is getting very hard to compare instead pushing to get higher and higher revenue. Not in the spirit of Josh Turner's original vision.

So did you end up raising rents and keep in ABP all bills paid or get rid of it?

@Pamela Howell JOHN JULIANO is an excellent resource. There are a lot of 4 plex units in Rockford if you want to house hack using a FHA 203k purchase/rehab loan. Several great citiers to invest in IL. But what caused you to pick this state?
