Co-living as a model is still underutilized in Chicagoland, especially in the near north and west suburbs, but the demand for affordable, flexible housing definitely exists—particularly near job centers, transit lines, and medical or university anchors.You’re absolutely right that finding a setup with two separate structures (SFH + coach house/ADU or legal nonconforming layout) is tough—but not impossible.

We’re seeing strong rental demand, especially for newer duplexes like this one that appeal to quality tenants looking for a modern unit but still want to stay close to the city.A couple key updates:Rents are actually $2,900/month total (advertised at $1,450 per unit).There's a $10K builder incentive available, which you could use as a rate buydown if you go with our preferred lender-this could really help your cash flow or lower your monthly payment or take it as a cash back post close + Free property management services for year 1 of ownership.If you're in long-term buy-and-hold mode and want new construction with minimal maintenance, this is a strong candidate.Let me know if you want to dive deeper and we can do a call. :-)

I'm curious to find out what the best model is so that I'm keeping tenants rent as reasonable as possible while also making sure I'm not losing a bunch on expenses.

There might be a CU Credit Union or Non/QM lender out there that might have an allowance on their Seller held Second.The only other way I have seen it work in today’s model is when the seller updates the Vesting on the home and add's the New Buyer to the title.
