Thanks Jon and Jason...I get your point of ghost towns but I am looking to start buying properties in Chicago. I wouldn't want to risk starting where I live there is absolutely NO demand right now. The region where I live has 7 of the top 10 counties for unemployement. I am not looking to get into buying houses but more of buying apartments and apartment complexes in the Chicago area. Do you think that is a smart route to go or have any other thoughts on what to do?

Thank you to the both of you. To Joshua I am currently a student with high hopes of becoming successful. I have been around real estate my entire life. My parents had a few rental properties but unfortunately had to sell them to make ends meet. That inspired me to start buying rental properties because I saw how many benefits there are (as long as they are managed properly) I joined the site to learn the hidden aspects of real estate that can be easily overlooked by someone just starting off. Long story short the 3 main NEEDS in life are : Food, Water, and Shelter. No matter how bad this housing market gets human beings always need somewhere to live. I hope this tells you a little more about me and my ambitions.

Hello everyone..My name is Nick and I am from Indiana. I found out about this website through a friend who is on here as well. I want to get in to buying rental properties and learning the do's and don'ts. I have a feeling many of you on this site do this as a living and from what I hear make more than enough money at it. Hopefully when I have any questions they will be answered correctly and will help me along my way to becoming successful.
