Getting started in Champaign-Urbana, IL

Hello BiggerPockets!

I am getting started in real estate and looking to start picking up SFH rentals in Champaign & Urbana IL. I have started talking with an agent and I'm meeting with a lender this week. We are planning to rehab at least the first one ourselves (this is something I want to learn more about, so I'm taking a hands-on approach). We are planning to self-manage the rentals until we find a good property manager. Any advice for a new investor would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Derek
