Quote from @Brett Cook: @Kate Nixon Taylor -Thank you.

I hear you, Cook County taxes + Chicago’s tenant-friendly rules can make the numbers tighter, especially if you’re trying to cash flow right away.Chicago is still good if you buy smart (solid rents, good condition, room to add value), but it’s become more of a long-term / appreciation + rent growth play than an instant-cash-flow one.If you want quicker cash flow and to stay in IL, look at:Portage Park / Jefferson Park / Irving Park (lower entry than Logan)South Side pockets (Bronzeville, McKinley Park, Back of the Yards — run the tenant/risk numbers)Outside Chicago: Rockford, Springfield, Champaign/Urbana — cheaper buy-in, better rent-to-price.I’d run the deal assuming higher taxes and slower rent growth — if it still works, it’s a buy.
