@Andrew Goodwin For house hacking, What areas make the most sense?

@Jeff Burdick Up to 20k for the property itself, in terms of city or suburbs which ever one has a better clash flow. 

I’m not really focused on appreciation but it would be nice to have both cash flow and appreciation.

I spent part of my child hood around the Humboldt park area and I came back 20 years later and went to the same area while I was on vacation in 2017. So I honestly don’t know what are the good and bad areas.

I've been looking into real estate in Chicago since it seems like a good place to BRRRR. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. We're also going to need an agent, contractor, property manager and lender.

I've been looking into real estate in Detroit since it seems like a good place to BRRRR. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. We're also going to need an agent, contractor, property manager and lender.

@Brie Schmidt my budget is around $300,000, I’m a little familiar with the Humboldt park area, I have an aunt that lives in that area, I did get to see some of some of the suburbs as well. We’re both flexible as to the area when it comes to work. I’m thinking more towards the city since I’ll be going to college .

I'm a military vet and I've yet to use my VA Loan, I want to invest in MFHs and I plan on living in one of the apartments, I'm looking for a good source of cash flow. I need some some advice, I lived in Chicago when I was a kid and I visited the city last summer after 20 years, me and my wife really liked Chicago. California has great weather but the properties are getting way over priced and Chicago seems more affordable.

I would appreciate any help and advice on which areas to look into, some good real estate agents/brokers as well as any advice on being a landlord in Chicago.
