COVID created a chaotic spike in both the sale & rental markets, attracting even more new real estate investors.

Why not take a trip and see which areas/cities seem attractive to you?

I’m looking to get a condo 2bd/1bath or something similar near rush, Stroger/CC hospital, and UIC (not just looking to attract travel nurses I promise lol).

I live in the building.The machines are constantly in use -- it's annoying to me, and another set will be nesc for the higher end tenants I want to attract. 

Finishes are modern and attractive.

Hi @Matthew Wright,You will probably attract more families / long term renters with duplexes than with one 12 unit building.

Anything that has an attractive price in 32206 or 32209 is either in a D class neighbhorhood and/or a property that needs significant rehab.The further you go from the center of downtown, the more likely the property is in a better class neighborhood.The exception being springfield where it is close to downtown but considered a good neighborhood.

What are some of the most effective marketing strategies used by property managers of multifamily properties 30 units and up to attract tenants? 

This means the location must possess the right characteristics to attract new businesses.If the city fails to attract new companies, soon only low-paying service sector jobs will remain.

Is your rental C/D class where it can only attract a lower class more difficult kind of tenant to manage?
