First Time Real Estate Investor

Lateef Eyiowuawi
Posted

Hello, 

I'm researching rental properties in the Chicagoland area for potential purchase but before I do I want to see if it's feasible given the current market and state of our economy. I'm continuing to increase my knowledge on real estate investing (Rich Dad Poor Dad, How To Invest In Real Estate, Youtube Channels, etc) but I'm stuck on what my strategy to apply when it comes to real estate investing. I reside in River North, married with a mortgage, child and was just recently furloughed with no guarantee of returning to my current role anytime soon. Would it be a mistake to purchase any property at this time? Is there anywhere I can gather more information on how the market is trending? I have more free time on my hands so I would be happy to work for a real estate investor who can show me the ropes.
