@Robert P. Happy to see some more western suburb investors on here. I am going to DM you something that is in rough draft stage but at least gives you my opinion on the various areas of the Chicago market. Will share with rest of BP once I get it edited...LOL I write how I talk so need someone to come behind me on the editing piece.
@Mark Ainley Looking forward to seeing this!

@Forrest Williams @Paul De Luca
Thank you both for responding. You both confirmed what I was already thinking. I was wondering if I was maybe missing something. Sometimes it's a good feeling to hear other folks reinforce what I had already been suspecting. Thanks again!

Hey all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. So, I've been spending a bunch of time nerding out and researching. I've been planning on purchasing a 2 flat to house hack. Recently, a friend asked if I was interested in "getting a 2 flat together." He and his family would live in one unit, I would live in the other unit with mine. My initial response is that I'm not interested. From his perspective, splitting a 2 flat is better than purchasing a SFH. Sure, I get it. From my perspective, I'm not necessarily saving much money, getting landlord experience, or earning as much equity. I decided to post, as I didnt exactly know what to search. I was hoping that someone maybe could offer some advice or questions that I maybe had considered. Thanks for any help or advice!
Cheers,
Connor

@John Warren Thank you for this reply, I am in the beginning phases of learning how to do the underwriting for a potential house hack in rogers park or evanston and had been struggling to figure out property tax. I almost made a new post asking a similar question that Sixuan asked. That website just helped me tremendously! Thank you!

@Henry Lazerow I know I'm late to the party here, but congrats! Thats a solid deal! Ive been living in rogers for the last 10 years. I'm just now beginning the research to buy a 2 or 3 flat. Wish I was seeing numbers similar to yours!

Hey Jonathan,
I'm at the same stage as you were when you wrote this post. In fact, this is the first thread I've read on this forum. My wife and I are just in the beginning stages of our research. I was just wondering if you all ended up in Evanston, and if you sound any solid resources in the area. Hope you're well!
Cheers,
Connor
