| CHICAGO SOUTH SIDE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES |
There is currently a great opportunity to purchase high yield
investment properties on Chicago's south side.
I am very familiar with the south side of Chicago. As a licensed broker, I
have access to many profitable investment properties, including: three
flats, four flats, multi-family (5+ units), mixed-use, and commercial
properties.
Investors love the south side of Chicago, because they can usually find
great properties that generate great net income. There is a high rental
demand on the South side of Chicago. As property values have been
decreasing, rental demand has been increasing. This market dynamic
is creating an ideal situation for real estate investors. While the media is
still painting a bleak picture for the real estate market, savvy investors are
buying properties left and right. Prices in some areas have dropped 40%
from their 2006 peak.
Due to the prolonged real estate downturn, there will probably be a
steady flow of foreclosures and bank owned properties hitting the market
for the next several years.
I can help you with purchasing and rehabbing your next investment
property. I can assist you every step of the way. I can also help you
quickly find tenants for your rental property.
Speaking of finding tenants, I am very familiar with the Section 8
program. For example, the Section 8 program may pay up to $1,300 for a
3 bedroom rental (depending on the market rent for the area). So, if you
have a 4 unit building, that has 3 bedrooms in each unit, you could
generate up to 5,200 per month in gross rental revenue! That's over
$62,400 annually! Even if annual expenses run at 40% of revenue, you
are still netting $37,400.
There are 4 unit properties out there going for $250K. In the above
example, an investor could easily earn a 15% return on their investment.
Talk about high cap rates!
If you have the resources to pay in cash, then you will have a distinct
advantage over buyers that need financing. The current market is best
suited for cash buyers that can close quickly!

Let's take a look at some real numbers. This analysis is based on the
12 month period ending Jan 1, 2015.
There were 318 closed transactions in the city of Chicago for multi-family
properties with 5 or more units. The median selling price was
$360,000. Properties ranged from abandoned buildings that needed
total gut rehabs to fully rented apartment buildings in high demand
areas.
The highest priced transaction came in at a little over 7 million dollars!
It was a 24 unit building on the north side of Chicago. .

It was a 24 unit building on the north side of Chicago. .
Here are the numbers for a property that was closer to the median selling price for
apartment buildings.
A 9 unit property was sold in the South Shore neighborhood for $390,000. The gross
rental income was $86,400. The net income was $58,501. The cap rate was a hefty
15%. A picture of this property is shown above.
From these three examples, you can see that cap rates can vary quite a bit from
neighborhood to neighborhood. Generally speaking, if you are in a neighborhood
that has good appreciation, the cap rate will be lower.
If you are in an area that has flat appreciation, the cap rate will be higher.
Areas that offer residents great amenities and great schools tend to appreciate
faster than areas that do not. Risk and Returns go hand in hand.
High Risk = High Return.... Low Risk = Low Return...
If you come across a deal where the return is not proportional
to the perceived risk, then don't even consider it.
The sweet spot is when you find a property in an area that is poised for growth but it
is not quite there yet. Then you can get in while the cap rates are still high. Or you
can find a property that needs work in an area that already has great appreciation.
Since it needs work, the price will be lower, and you will have the opportunity to
reposition it.
Well, I guess that is enough rambling for now :)
Hopefully, someone out there found this information useful.

PROPERTY ANALYSIS
This video breaks down the numbers when flipping a property using hard money!
Chicago Economy
Chicago has one of the world's largest and most diversified economies,
with more than four million employees and generating an annual gross
regional product (GRP) of over $500 billion.
It is an efficient economic powerhouse that is home to more than
400 major corporate headquarters, including 29 Fortune 500 headquarters.
Among the most diverse economies in the nation, Chicago is a key player
in every sector from risk management innovation to manufacturing to information
technology to health services.
The income per capita is $25,219, which includes all adults and children.
The median household income is $45,393.
The unemployment rate in Chicago, IL, is 6.70%, with job growth of 0.7%.
Future job growth over the next ten years is predicted to be 28.94%.
The central downtown area has experienced a resurgence in recent years
with construction of major new condominium and Class A office buildings.
These include the 92-story Trump Tower Chicago, Lakeshore East development,
and the 300 North Lasalle office building. Since the recession, other projects,
like the planned 150-story 2000 foot Chicago Spire by architect Santiago Calatrava,
are now in limbo.[1] Many city neighborhoods are gentrifying at a rapid pace as well,
including Logan Square, Pilsen, Uptown, Near Southside, and Rogers Park.
The massive expansion of O'Hare International Airport and reconstruction of the
Dan Ryan Expressway are also underway and will shape development patterns
for years to come.
Changes in house prices for the Chicago metropolitan area are publicly tracked
on a regular basis using the Case–Shiller index; the statistic is published by
Standard & Poor's and is also a component of S&P's 10-city composite index
of the value of the residential real estate market. Home prices in Chicago
advanced about 2% in January 2015 over Jan of 2014.
