Zion and/or Waukegan Investment Properties

Hi all,

I have recently been looking at a number of MFR's (2-4 units) in both the Waukegan and Zion area?

Often times I run the numbers and for the properties that have positive cash flow, it usually can earn somewhere between $100-200 per door with a 7-10% IRR. Seems like pretty decent investments, especially for someone just starting out.

Does anyone else here have MFR investments in either of those two areas?

Would love to connect!

Don't buy Zion very depressed. A lot of issue. Taxes are high on a lot of properties. Very stagnant. You can get some great cash flows deals but very hard to have real equity and normal market appreciation. Just south of zion or a lot of the surround area are good.
