Kiser Group, Chicago’s leading multifamily brokerage firm, brokered two separate transactions in Gary and Highland, Indiana, totaling $1.175 million. Advisor Kyle Sissell represented both the buyer and seller in each transaction.
“Indiana is quickly becoming one of the hottest investment markets for multifamily owners,” said Sissell. “With its favorable landlord laws, Indiana continues to attract both local and national investors’ attention. Couple that with the steady demand from residents in Lake County, and it’s definitely an area to watch.”
