You would really want to do your own due diligence and probably fly to the market(s) you'd like to invest in.

I’m about to be 29 and I’m hoping this really takes effect in my life in my 40’s.

Quote from @Lavanya Milton: Quote from @Thomas S.: First step for you is to study investing in income properties.Generally a rental property will have in the range of 4% -50% of rental income going toward expenses to maintain the investment before debt repayment (mortgage). 

@Jacob Dalton, I'm going to have to agree with Jonathan Klemm (sorry, couldn't tag you) & @Brie Schmidt -- you can definitely be a successful landlord in Chicago with the right team in place.  1000's of investors do it every day.

Also @Andrew Syrios thank you for your opinion also, it´s pretty much helpful to have different opinions and perspectives, but still difficult to decide when someone it´s just beginning.

My partner and I are in our 40's looking to acquire multi-family properties out of state for cashflow.
