1st time home buyer

Leti Salas

Hello,

I'm in the market to buy my first home and start building my real estate portfolio.  Im currently working in Mount Pleasant,  WI.  Im paying 1800 a month in rent, as Im here during the week. I live in Chicago and my rent through a family member is 800. I go home weekends. Im not sure if I should buy a multi unit in Chicago and house hack in the 500-700k range or buy in WI in the 400k range and get rid of the rent here. Ill be working here about 2-3 years. Any advice is appreciated.
