the south side of Chicago has very nice areas as well. Oak lawn, Beverly, Orland, etc......melrose park is a decent area but as everyone mentioned prices are rising fast and a lot of properties are overpriced right now. Melrose park isn't that far from Oak Park which is a high end area but close to Austin which is still being gentrified heavy. I was just over there recently and for any out of state investor I would recommend you use a property manager. If your looking for rentals I'm sure you could get 10-11% in melrose park, pay close attention to the taxes because they would kill the CCR.hopefukly prices come down soon. The market correction will balance everything out
Yeah, as i just mention in a previous comment i'm not familiar with those areas yet. Have you invest there? Is there a good demand?
Yes, PM is a must in my case. Do you manage your properties your self since you are there? or do you use one as well?
And yes again, i'm expecting correction to hit soon as well, but i just can't wait since it might happen in 2018, or 2019, or 2020, or later? :)
