Question About Location

Michael Watkins
Posted

I have an opportunity to buy a multi unit on the south side of Chicago in either Woodlawn or South Shore.  If you had to choose base on location, which area would you look at first?  Of course cost, they both are around the same cost, and other factors play a role, but I’m looking for the area for the most potential and great equity over time.  Any insight would be appreciated.

Woodlawn first.  The closer you can get to the University the better.
