To do a forecast, you can check the projected population growth as well as the influx of jobs by checking with the Chamber of Commerce for that city.For the three cities you mentioned, below are the school info, appreciation rate and crime stats:http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/westmont/crime...http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/woodridge/crim...http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/lombard/crime/

I would try asking the following people in your area for an accountant recommendation: Realtor, financial planner, local landlord, chamber of commerce. 

Nicolas Chambers I might be a little annoyed, but I'd pay him immediately!

For example, a 5000 euro subsidy is offered to any new freelancer presenting a valuable business plan to the Berlin chamber of commerce.Brigitte Zypries Germany's Economics Minister announced in April 2017, "an additional 1 billion euros ($1.06 billion) annually for extra measures to boost innovation".

@Scott Lewis @Alan Chambers Would you approach the bank prior to getting the house under contract with your proposal or would you get the house under contract first?

It's fun while the chamber is empty. 

The Meetup in Leeds has been canceled this month, the http://www.aiaclub.com/ has changed it to a woman's meeting for the members, to Vestavia Chamber at 5:30. you can find the facebook page by the same name, aiaclub.comThe next monthly meeting, next monday at the Homewood Senior Center at 5:30. 

Thank goodness that people like you have stepped out of the BP echo chamber and shined more light on CF, which is more multivaried that many people are led to believe.

@Don Chambers, I don't have near as many units as you do but have been considering the same sort of thing.

So you want to find out as much information as you can about that area through Chamber of Commerce, through the economic study, talking to the brokers.
