Hello,I am new to real estate investing and want to buy rental properties within Chicago and surrounding areas.

I have questions such as, should I really be looking at my home state, or can I expand to surrounding states as long as it's drivable?

Be aware there are infrastructure issues that affect Jackson involving the water supply, road issues, etc.

Hi Blake, My company manages properties for others in New London (and the surrounding area), specifically single-family and small to mid-sized multifamily properties.

The growth is mostly in the surrounding suburbs, but we also have a chronic housing shortage both for sale and for rent.

We used to live in Deltona and we were planning on looking around there and the surrounding areas.

Now its a vacant piece of land surrounded by solar fields.   

@David Ning As someone who has been working the Indianapolis market and surrounding areas for the past 14 of my 20 years.

A buddy of mine invested early in that area, and let's just say he's not regretting it.From what I've heard, these massive projects tend to create ripple effects in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Myrtle Beach and its surrounding communities - collectively known as the "Grand Strand" - have garnered a lot of attention from the investor community over the past several years.
