Not advertising a deal, just trying to understand what “market” looks like.Hypothetical (but based on a real situation):- Location: Central Los Angeles, Jefferson Park–type area- Asset: Existing 4-unit multifamily on a single parcel- Context: Within walking distance (~0.5 miles) of an E Line / K Line rail station, so it appears to fall into a transit-oriented development (TOD) pocket that should benefit from SB 79 upzoning (higher minimum density / height / FAR if standards are met)- Ownership: Held in a family trust tied to a probate / conservatorship, with a court-supervised mandate to (a) preserve the asset and (b) use it to support an elderly beneficiaryThe family side can realistically contribute **land only**; they don’t have the balance sheet or cash to run a full entitlement + construction process.

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.

If you're looking outside Knoxville markets like Jefferson City and Oak Ridge are worth exploring some as they can offer some decent returns. 

@Layla GambleGreat choice starting with a duplex in Jefferson County!

Hi @Rayranda Jefferson, nice to meet you!

. • Where to look (value + path-of-progress): Albany/Irving Park, Avondale fringe, Portage/Jefferson Park, Hermosa/Belmont Cragin, Bridgeport/McKinley Park, Bronzeville/Woodlawn pockets, Rogers Park/South Shore (block-by-block). • Debt: 2–4 units = resi terms; 5+ = DSCR/bridge/local bank.

Woodford Reserve is probably my go to but so far my favorite is Jefferson's Ocean.

@Kendra MattsonIf you are looking in the Cleveland, Oh market I would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre.
