Looking to expand to Northwest Indiana

Hello everyone!

Hopefully everyone’s doing well during  these uncertain times.

I’m in the beginning stages of looking for new target markets in the northwest Indiana . I’m looking for strong rental markets that can attract decent tenants. More than likely would prefer to stay in the class C areas, but open to better areas.

So far Hammond, East Chicago, merrillville have come up come up on my radar. Hammond seems the most promising.

I’ve considered East Chicago given the low prices. However I don’t like the vacancy rate and percent of vacant  buildings.

Any pointers to any of these markets and if they are worth exploring would be appreciated.

Thanks!
