@Jesse Simmons I want to tackle this from a little different perspective if you don't mind.

It is probably worth your time to connect with BOTH @John Warren and myself since we are both managing brokers, but John is more focused on property management and I am more focused on general contracting, but we are both Chicago investors as well.Oak Park and Lawndale are definitely two different markets.

Fairfax county virginia is very different than Montgomery county maryland even though they are right next door to each other and most do business in both.
