Ever thought about house hacking?  Join Second City Real Estate for House Hacking U with @Syed Lateef on Wednesday February 7th at 6:30 pm at Begyle Brewery

Syed started looking to house hack and after much patience and bumps in the road he closed on a new rehabbed property in September 2016.  His sister decided to sell her condo and house hack and within a couple months she was doing it too!  They started converting their units to short term rentals and after a year he started an AirBnB Management company and quit his job to run it full time.

Syed will talk about:

• Being patient and waiting for the right deal
• Leasing up a vacant property and tenant screening
• Traditional Rentals VS AirBnb
• What he learned as a new landlord
• What being a landlord is really like

Change of plans!  Due to scheduling conflicts we are having @Eric La Pratt come speak at this month's "House Hacking University" at Begyle Brewery 1800 W Cuyler Chicago IL 

Eric already house hacked in Michigan before moving to Chicago.  We found a 203k property in Lincoln Square for Eric to House Hack and he completed a $200k renovation that took over a year.

Eric will talk about:

• The 203k process
• The rehab process
• Leasing up a vacant property and tenant screening
• What he learned as a new landlord
• What being a landlord is really like

is @Syed Lateef going to be doing a speaking engagement at a later time @Brie Schmidt ? I'm really curious about the intricacies of AirBnB in Chicago. Would love to come see that if/when it happens. Thanks! :)

@Ted Kuhlmann - Yes he will, it was a last minute scheduling conflict but he will be doing one soon
