@Larry Tacker Welcome to BP...

I'm a newbie also with only 1 rental property in Joliet. If you can deal with a little ghetto-ness you can find some good deals around here, 2 bed/1bath houses on the east side can be had for 40k and rent for $850-900. Only issue I'm having right now is finding financing on such cheap houses, though I'll admit I haven't looked into any credit unions yet.

Good luck and keep in touch,
-Sam

I would really like to attend but I know I'm "on call" that weekend. I will try to work around that and give a more definite answer as the date approaches.

Thanks for putting events like this together,
-Sam

@Wendell De Guzman

I'm free during most daytime and afternoon hours so I'd love for the opportunity to pick your brain sometime (after you come back from vacation)!

Tim, welcome to bp. I've only been a member for a short amount of time but the wealth of information here is ridiculous!

I'm just starting out in Joliet and the market out here is relatively cheap. I'm looking at 2 bedrooms/1 bath for around 40k. Though, I'm looking to buy and hold and willing to invest in poorer neighborhood, there are deals to be found.

Good luck!

Very well written and in depth. I too, being a rookie have many of the same questions and look forward to any and all feedback.

Thanks
