South Shore Chicago Rental Market

[Timothy Edwards]

I am have been presented an opportunity to purchase two multi-unit properties in South Shore in the high 70's around the Phillips and Colfax area.  I wanted to get the boards opinion about the area regarding crime, the rental market as there seems to be alot of renovated units on the market so I am concerned about absorption and lastly thoughts on rental rates if you have experience in the market.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
