Grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and I think there are some great and underrated markets there.

You don't need a "team" or an LLC if you have that little $ to invest (don't mean for that to sound rude).I grew to 2000 units w/o building a team. 

I have to recommend Landon Tutt, who grew up in and is now a realtor in that exact area.

Happy to connect with other Canadians on here or cross border investors.I started investing in Alberta in 2020 as a new immigrant and quickly grew my portfolio to over 13 units including 1 in Houston, Tx.I focus on mid term and long term rentals!

It was about a "flood house". http://www.aetv.com/flipping-vegas/video/flood-house I recognized that neighborhood since I grew up around there, and figured I would do some fact checking.

My offices are in Monmouth and Passaic, I live in Hudson and grew up and still do a lot of business in Bergen, and then Ocean is where a lot of our Monmouth clients are, so I have a pretty good handle on those areas.

That's what I grew up working in (starting at age 12) and I like the idea of being diversified. 

I grew up in SoCal. 

I grew up in a area with plenty of brick but it is hardly ever used here in the mountains and didn't cross my mind.
