@Abhi Patel would love to connect Berwyn has been very hot as of late. Especially in the flip market!! I know several investors who love this area for flips as many folks are stepping away from the city boundaries and going to Berwyn. As a rental market from what I understand it has always been very steady and known as a solid working class area with good/strong renters. I am sure @John Warren has plenty of experience!

I would be more than happy to run a market report in Berywn for you if you'd like

@Maria Bocanegra welcome! Chicago is a great market and 2017 I believe will be an even better year than 2016. Let me know if you would like any hard money references or help searching properties in the area. There is definitely a lot of opportunity in the chicago market but need to act quickly to be able to grab these!

I love working with fellow investors and helping them meet their goals would love to see if we are a good fit sometime!
