New Real Estate Investor Moving to Chicago

Hi all,

My name is Nelson and I’m trying to get in the loop in Chicago.

I’m moving from New York for a job as a software engineer/data scientist and was hoping to start investing in a buy and hold property (I know the Multi-Family market is a bit hot at the moment, so I’m just looking for anything that cashflows) .

I’m eyeballing the neighborhoods along the Blue Line but would greatly appreciate any advice or information about events.
