It’s located on southeast of Chicago.

I’m located in Orlando, FL by the way.

Not all states/counties make the info public, but if you are in a state that does so, you can go to the county website the property of interest is located in, usually by their GIS system, and find what properties sold nearby to use as a comparison. 

You don't add much on a normal house located in an appreciating market but generally when you sell you will get some of that money back vs getting no money back on the improvement...Bruce - if you follow the market there seem to always be cash flowing rentals for sale at reasonable prices in Duluth. 

Hello BP Members,If anyone has a means of locating companies with off market real estate property listings for sale in Illinois (Chicagoland counties) and Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area counties), please let me know.I have a few, but I know I haven't tapped into this market in the least bit.

I agree with Dan the 3 locations are well suited and you can consider the Springs a great place to invest.

I'm located in Seattle, so I'm not local.

Even if it is only currently a legal two family, if it is located in the right zoning district, the "use" of a four unit building may be allowed and it could be an easy legal process to do the conversion. 

Let’s connect and discuss your goals, locations of interest, etc.

Also I saw a 2 acre lot just outside of the nearest city for about 12,000 without a well drilled or septic or electric, but the location seems beneficial.
