The same issue lies with Chicago as well.- Then I checked out the Detroit market and realized that the job and population growth has declined in the past few years and landlords are finding it hard to fill the vacancies.- Lastly, I checked out the Colorado market (especially Colorado and Colorado Springs), and the property prices are high there and hence, it won't cash flow there either.Hence, while I want to begin my journey, I am not sure where to start.

Fixed income- realize you’re talking about interest or dividend bearing.  

Anyone investing in small multi family in Chicago?

Though I graduated from college in Tucson (Bear Down!)

Removing non-load-bearing walls to create a more open and spacious floor plan can significantly enhance the appeal of a property.

Good morning,Can anyone recommend a reputable general contractor who can specialize in rehabbing a multi family in the chicago land area.

If you're located in Chicago, I recommend checking out the Straight Up Chicago Investor podcast and other resources they have on their website.

I am not super familiar with your market (although I'm sure it's similar), we have a ton of local Chicago real estate investor meetups.Getting to those things in person changed my life, and I was able to connect with mentors, experienced investors, and a lot of good people.

They know they have problems - they've told me as much - but their maintenance manager just grins and bears it as they wait for change because IT controls it all.As a manager of 15+ years, and of at one time nearly 4,000 doors, it appears to me that their current structure is not conducive to the hands-on, seasoned, fast-paced, and decision-driven style you need to be a successful manager.
