@John Warren Thanks for the response - the plan is to absolutely acquire multiple rental properties over time, but I'm definitely looking to get my feet wet with a house hack first that has an ideal mortgage payment.  I like the idea of stretching my capital as much as possible without over leveraging.

What do you think is the best route to achieve that?

Hello everyone!

My wife and I are gearing up to begin our first house hack in downtown Chicago, possibly in West Town or the Lower West Side.

We've saved up a considerable amount of cash to put down 20% on a multi family in one of those areas but we're still considering utilizing an FHA loan.

Other than that, we’d love any advice that the community has about Chicago or getting started with a house hack!

Kind regards,

Alex
