You keep checking the MLS and saying there are no deals.

That part is true.

What newer investors miss is a lot of Chicago deals are getting done off market now.

New investors underestimate how long low supply can keep prices up.

Experienced buyers get stuck underwriting today’s taxes like they’ll stay flat.
