584: Chicago Focus And Disciplined Growth Pays Dividends

Submarket-specific focus, complete vertical integration, and 20 years of experience mitigates a lot of risk. Chicago has been the number one market for multifamily rent appreciation in the country over the past couple quarters. Rents to average income are considerably lower than most other large markets and there are several Fortune 500 and large tech company employers. There’s also been limited new construction compared to other growth markets. Michael Root, Partner at Root Property Group, has built a successful, fully integrated portfolio of 700 multifamily units in the city of Chicago.
