Illinois market?

[Christopher Earling]

Hello again everyone!

My wife and I are wanting to move back to the Illinois area and are also looking to invest there as well. It's been a while since I've been there though so I was hoping for some general advice on some places to look for.. 

We are military so our first idea was to buy near Scott AFB but the crime out there seems a little to high. And that crosses off Rockford as well. Next we have been looking at the Joliet braidwood area, and parts of the northern state such as McHenry county. We've seen a few things that look promising but we just want to hear how other people are doing in the state and if they've been noticing anything. 

We would be moving in about two years, but I wanted to get at least one rental out there. Our goal seems to be to get a nice house in Homer Glen area but we would need to work up to that. 

Thanks for the discussion!
