Norada Real Estate Investments recently revealed its 21 best cities for real estate investment in 2022 and 2023, and Chicago made the list.

The firm looked at data and trends across the U.S. to determine its rankings, noting each city has its “own set of qualities and disadvantages, but many of them are less expensive than the national average.”

Norada cited Chicago’s stable and diverse economy and its strong renters market, noting more than 50% of the population rents. “The large population of renters means that rental income from a Chicago investment property is far better than you’d see if you invested elsewhere in the country,” the firm said. It ranked Chicago No. 9 on its list.
