(as is my husband, writing it for me) :):)  It will surely be on the planning commission agenda to limit these in certain neighborhoods, possibly the law will eventually allow, or not....The hotels and motels hate them, but they are BIG business and bring in a massive amount of money that will go elsewhere if not allowed. ..it's the way many of us expect to travel today..These properties also are taxed at a non-homestead rate so for every rental, the city, village LeBarbe Blue or township will collect 40% more in tax base......so there's the good , the bad, and the ugly... 

Numbers are annualized except where noted.4 unit (2-2br; 2-1br) - Decent working class blue collar neighborhood - not nicest area but not the ghetto.Est.

I am debating between blue background and white lettering or I also saw some with a black background and pink lettering.

Logan Square, Avondale, Irving Park(basically blue line stops California through Irving Park) are good areas to look.  

There are also areas where cash flow may be less, but you have nice neighborhoods and appreciation potential, such as Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, or Overland Park, Shawnee, and Olathe on the Kansas Side in Johnson County. 

Our plan is to invest in lower middle class/blue collar rental properties that we will buy and hold.

Claire       For those of you wondering about tenant friendly vs. landlord friendly states..RentCafe published the link below last year     https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/renting/states-best-worst-laws-renters/In simple terms the GENERAL....and I do mean GENERAL rule of thumb is that Red (Republican) States overall seem to be more landlord friendly than Blue (Democrat) states that tend to be more tenant friendly.

OOS has its challenges, but so does making no money and dealing with blue state politics  

Colorado is a blue state but we have some of the most RE-investor friendly laws in the country.

Blue collar SFR's provide a much better return.
