@Trung Hong my business invests in small multi-units in Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village and Bucktown (within the West Town and Logan Square neighborhood areas).

Before I know it, I joined in on a Historic Property in West End, Atlanta, GA.  

@Ben McMahon and @Russell Brazil: Do you recommend any areas in VA south and west of here within a 2 hour drive for better multifamily value opportunities without having to be essentially a retail buyer up here? 

I am pretty much set on moving west.  

I'm your neighbor to the west and operate out of Keller Williams Realty Metropolitan in Bedford. 

@Darren Eady  @Bob Maleckithis scam is alive and well in the mid west rust belt and deep south.When I had foreclosures and banged on doors... more than once I asked who they were paying rent.. to and it would be    I's pay to the guy in the blue truck... this scam is alive and well .. the fact that the dectives will even engage you is awesome most jurisdictions would tell you its a civil matter. assignment of rents is great but it cost to perfect it.. and try to explain to some tenant what it is.. they have no understanding and think your the MAN trying to scam them more.
