Been itching to buy an investment property but the ones in my current price range are all in areas where crime is really bad. I'm looking for a duplex or a triplex so I can potentially house-hack (living in one unit, rent out the others) but unless you're prepared to drop serious money you'll need to settle for areas with a lot of crime.

<_< From what I've been reading on city-data.com, having white skin and venturing into those areas is pretty much a no no because you'll be targeted. For example, I'm looking at a 2-unit in the Austin neighborhood but they're saying that people should avoid the whole neighborhood.

*sigh*

Fucking Chicago.

In another topic tc was complaining that because he's single and childless he has to pay slightly more in taxes than couples with kids.

No kids, makes good money, has white skin. Won't someone please hear his plight?

Edit: then again I wouldn't want to live in Chicago so maybe he's right

I am right. Chicago is a hell hole unless you have a lot of money and can afford to live in one of the wealthier neighborhoods. It's basically a nightmare to try to invest into most of these neighborhoods because of the crime and resistance to gentrification.

I feel you TC in terms of the expenses part only, I want to move into Boston, but it's really expensive (like quite a bit more expensive than Chicago, and only barely cheaper than NYC).

Barely livable areas (IE where the probability of getting shot is at least somewhat lower) are still expensive in Chicago. That's why so many people who work in the downtown area commute from the suburbs.

I don't know if I could afford to hire anyone, and no one would want to do it even if I could. Otherwise people would buy up properties in Englewood and have hired hands manage them. <_< But clearly that isn't happening.

That's a shame. I really want to see some of these neighborhoods revived and safe. Austin has some beautiful homes in it, especially as you get closer to Oak Park. But it's so fucking violent. :/ It'd be a huge risk to live there/invest there, but it could be worth it if more people join in. Oak Park used to be bad too but it turned around, from what I hear.

I know a slum lord. He and his dad have properties in Englewood. One of the guys they work with got shot and sold all of his properties after he got out of the hospital. The only way they keep going there is because they have balls of steel. :/ And they go together and with weapons.

People get shot and stabbed there every day. :/ Including people who are way tougher than I could ever be. I don't think that's actually a viable strategy.

Near the south side where? By Midway airport? Or literally in the South Side? I've lived near Midway before and it was fine, although it was getting more violent than it was before. Still livable though. I have good friends who live in Chicago Lawn and you can actually walk around outside at night. On weekends there's even families and kids playing at one of the parks there. The problem is that it's still a ways away from downtown Chicago where I work.
