Which neighborhood is this condo in? 

Is there a ballpark range for rental prices that folks are targeting for Carroll College students? I'm curious how pricey rent can realistically get in this area. Also, what is the demographic most people find as tenants aside from these students? 

I'm not sure about local/community banks but I know US Bank goes to 90% LTV on HELOC's.

My local State Farm office issued a policy for my rental condo.

Thanks for sharing this Brie! 

@Ronan M. I've taken the drive down LSD and seen how quickly things change, but I haven't really explored the area too much. That's on my list for this weekend. When you said "it could pay off" were you referring to anything beyond the fact that property values may NOT appreciate? 

I'm looking to learn more more about these south side neighborhoods (South Shore, South Chicago, East Side) and wanted to see if folks familiar with these areas would mind sharing their thoughts. I'm looking for MY buy & hold opportunities. Within each of these neighborhoods, what locations should I target or steer clear of? 

I'm not sure, but I'd suspect the answer would be lender specific. Best to consult them for specifics.
