@Allan Smith

I live about an hour away, but work out of the Peoria area (except working from home due to Covid-19).

CAT still has a fairly large presence in Peoria. Two factories, some offices, suppliers. Also, Rivian is a new electric car manufacturer that is setting up in the old Mitsubishi factory in Normal.

Some bright spots, but not likely to see appreciation that you see in other markets.

    Chris are you living in Peoria or Chula Vista? Do you have rentals in Peoria, IL currently? If so you may want to join the landlord group there.

    Roschelle have you thought about joining the local landlord group? We have just about 500 members and we're based in Peoria. There is no cost to join. ***Edit I see you re already a member!

    Timothy,

    I am located a bit north in Rock County, Wisconsin but I would still love to connect. I work with a few Illinois investors who are all interested for many of the same reasons. There is so much growth in this market right now, coupled with the proximity to their market and lower entry costs, it makes a lot of sense to invest here. If you would like to chat about it or just connect, I would love to do so!

    Okay Peoria people, I live in Nashville now but I grew up in Peoria for 18 years. I've often thought about investing in Peoria because the properties are more affordable and I still have some contacts from living there that could assist with boots on the ground.

    what makes me very uneasy is the trajectory Peoria is on. Even before cat left, the population was flatlining and growth seemed weak. It just doesn't seem like a great area to invest in. Am I way off?

    Hi Allan,


    The housing market appears strong currently. I have sold three fix and flip homes this year after only a short time on the market.

    I also have a property that was originally intended as a flip. It is getting ready to sell but I am thinking about just BRRRing it.  Does anyone know a good PM in the area?
