Readers should seek professional advice.

The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.

Seriously though, if you haven't already get your self a solid real estate-focused tax professional in your corner.

Stay professional in all communication.
