If you have any details about the tenants use that to your advantage to break the ice.

And we investors crave data!

There's a lot of negative coverage with ICE raids in Chicago and I'm wondering how much it is effecting buying and selling activity locally or for investors.

Was it poured in the dead of winter and cured with ice pockets?

If you’re living in one of the units, that $200–$300 is just icing — your real “profit” is the fact that your tenants are paying most (if not all) of your mortgage while you’re building equity.A few thoughts based on what you and the others mentioned:Don’t get too hung up on huge cash flow for your first one — as @Remington Lyman said, most people just break even or slightly cash flow on their first house hack.

ICE’s report for September was even better — prices rose 0.17% month-over-month, marking the first uptick in eight months.What’s driving it?

Really nice boxes and the guests sometimes take them which is cool.I don't put out any local stuff but I do put in a ton of items like various bars, ICE drinks, chips, fruit snacks etc.

The former tenant, let the fridge kind a mess, Ice in the freezer, the bathroom was gross, and left some clothes hangars and small effects behind.
