The other benefit of Chicago to an out of state investor is the same benefit Chicago has had since it was first settled- It's a transportation hub.  1st it was the lake, then the trains, now it's the airports.

I’m looking for info in foreclosure properties and Hub foreclosures properties?

My favorite play right now is in midwestern and southern secondary markets where I can get the highest possible cap rates, while enjoying the same level of rental demand the oversaturated neighboring hubs do.

These were actually two homes that we built for my parents about a block from the new Expo line Metro train station in what is now called the HUB in Culver City.

Additionally you are less than 15 minutes away from the employment hubs in Midtown and Georgia Tech.

Any feedback on whether to begin my real-estate portfolio with a "hub" home so my wife and I could potentially live in for at least the next 10+ years or find a mult-plex as a primary home/rental property.Issue: Wife and I are on the market looking for a home in the DFW area for the next 6 months.

For the UK market check out the property hub. propertyhubThey have a podcast based in the UK.

My local brokerage was bought out by HUB which is a large company but they still seem to have problems finding coverage for all my properties.
