It looks like DH might get transferred and we're visiting towards the end of next week. I've visited Chicago only once, so I'm not too familiar with all the different neighborhoods.
We're setting up a meeting with a real estate agent. Any recommendations for neighborhoods or zipcodes to search? I've done an initial search and I can't believe how affordable homes seem to be. Two Bedroom condos for $175K? Really? We'll be single income for a while, so I don't want to spend more than $1800 a month for the mortgage/taxes (and assessment fees - if its a condo or town home). I won't mind spending more if we choose a duplex or other income property (I currently own a 4 unit in another state).
All suggestions/tips are appreciated. Thanks!
