rent property in Collinsville, Illinois

Anyone currently investing (or previously looked at) rental properties in Collinsville, Il? Pros, Cons, TLDR? 

[Andrew Caldieraro]

I see a lot of properties that are for rent right now in Collinsville. I live here and I don’t plan on investing in Collinsville. The taxes are higher. You can buy cheaper here than in some other neighboring towns, but we all know how that goes - It’s for some people and not others, just like investing in north county is. There are a couple smaller multi family properties for sale, but $500/unit/month isn’t worth the risk and headaches to me.

Thanks Andrew, exactly what I was looking for
