You will at the very least be in an excellent area for growth in just about every industry you can imagine. 

I am learning a lot about real estate and want to purchase a rental property in my area.

Quote from @TJ Dittmar: @Jaycee Greene not quite that high I'm seeing comps in that area averaging $1300@TJ Dittmar, got it.

It is definitely a bit more tricky on an investment property, but it can for sure be done.What area of Chicago is the property in? 

There is no other local affordable housing in the area.

There are a lot of successful people sharing real-world examples and learning together. 

If you're in a high-cost area, consider out-of-state markets where you could buy a rental property outright. 

For the SFH in the 2-4 bedroom range, focus on areas with stable demand for rentals—both cities have neighborhoods where Section 8 housing can do well!

Regarding costs there are a lot of factors considered but to give you a ballpark idea, here is a brief scenario: Our main office is based out of Cherry Hill NJ, a typical 3 bedroom row-home lead-paint inspection in that area would cost on average $450, however we can service the entire state of New Jersey (North Jersey office in Montclair, NJ).
