Straight Up Chicago Investor Episode 46: Why Invest in Smaller Multifamily Properties in the North and Northwest Suburbs of Cook County - Anthony Citriglia
Chicagoland is an enormous market with a ton of sub markets. Anthony Citriglia of Essex Realty's submarket covers many of the near north and near northwest suburbs and he breaks down exactly what those markets are like; how they differ from Chicago; and how they differ from each other. Following the post-war boom, cheaper access to cars, and the development of several Metra lines, the 50s-80s were filled with tons of development, mostly still currently owned by mom & pop landlords. Find out what it takes to succeed in these markets as Anthony drops street-level knowledge including typical price-per door, dividing lines where this pricing adjusts, tenant expectations, and the physical housing stock.
