@Bradley Calvin From some of the recent research Ive done, Ive found Park Ridge is a hot area. Not sure but I would assume that means Niles is a popular as well. Ive also spoken to quite a few people who are investing with success in DuPage County.

@Crystal Smith Thats very interesting. Does the City have any foundational requirements? Im surprised you can just toss down a container and the City is ok with calling it a residence. If legal, I wonder why the City hasn't used them or something similar for low income housing.

Hmmm this is something that never crossed my mind. I feel like its something that the City wouldn't allow. Would it be classified the same way a mobile home would be?
