If you want to wholesale, find the largest wholesaler in your area and work to provide them value and expect nothing in return.

I'm trying get a few outside opinions from other investors in the area.

It's important that they know that in an area like Bolingbrook, they have areas that are high rentals, and that might be more opportune for you to invest in.

This helps reduce operational costs and increase efficiencies, hopefully giving the landlord back time to spend on other areas of the business.Market Trend Predictive Analytics: There are AI algorithms that can analyze large amounts of data in order to predict property values and future market trends.

So I knew the market and the potential of the area. 

In mortgage rate/bond world, the next set of economic reports (Jobs, inflation, retail sales, etc) can always change the picture quickly. 

What areas should I look into?

I also discovered damage to the roof and had to replace that, plus I graded and graveled the driveway and parking area. $24,000 worth of improvements, $20,000 in lost rent. 

It didn't work because the TV covered a 13 county area and most leads were out of my target area.

have you contacted the local banks and credit unions in the area for options  ?
