Chicago House Hacking
Hey fellow Chicago BPers,
I am looking to get started in real estate investing and am getting swayed more and more towards house hacking. I am a younger guy living in Chicago and with the price of real estate in Chicago I am finding it hard to wrap my mind around how I would buy a duplex/triplex and qualify for a mortgage with limited funds while staying in at least a decent area.
Has anyone successfully house hacked here? I’m curious if there is something that I am missing or not properly thinking about. If I could find a duplex/triplex in a decent area that I could qualify for I would begin to jump on it quickly. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
