I am a real estate investors at heart as I have 13 doors currently in Michigan, and will look to follow that same concept in Illinois.I have looked at Lakeview, Rogers Park, Hoffman Estates, and Itasca, basically anywhere I can get to the city by transit in 30-45 min to downtown, as this is where my new job will be at.  

Marie Poe,Some of what you are saying is true, but I will not do business with someone who cannot answer their phone, and I know gurus will teach everyone to let it go to voice mail.

Marie are correct.
