Hi all, finally in Chicago and looking forward to joining any vibrant RE association/group around.

@Tiffany Onwudinanti I use the chase sapphire reserve card for all of my purchases.

I have a very large number of points on my Chase Sapphire and Amex and discovered I can get nights at the Hyatt near work for 5000 points so my current plan is to take it slow and learn a little about the market before jumping in.

It was located in a desirable neighborhood and once renovated would be the perfect home fro people who desired access to outdoor activities while at the same time being with oin walking distance to a vibrant down town with great restaurants and brew pubs.

I am thrilled to be a newly licensed agent at such a vibrant time for the Austin housing market. 

Was surprised to see such a large and vibrant community!

Texas is a vibrant State with a strong economy.

That being said, one tip I can give new investors and out of state investors is to have at least some sort of grasp on the neighborhoods to invest in before just diving into making offers and such.With Chicago being such a large city filled with a ton of vibrant neighborhoods, I don't believe that it should be up to you as a first time investor or out of state investor to learn about these neighborhoods through your own research.

Little Havana is a very touristy location full of vibrant culture and nearby to downtown.

So, it's not about catering to the whimsy of folks who just want to live in world class cities, it's about keeping the critical elements of a vibrant city all getting what they need so they continue to stick around and contribute.
