Investing in Peoria, IL

[Jesse Fernandez]

Hi all BP folks! 

I've been evaluating the RE market in Peoria, IL. In my opinion, population growth, job diversity, supply demand, and a few other markers are making me feel okay with investing in MFH in this market. 

However, one thing that was pronounced in my evaluation was the crime rate. 

I am an out of town investor so I would love to get a local investor's perspective on Peoria and directional advice would be great thx
