Im orginally from Elgin, traveled for about 10 years, moved to Logan Square area, and now moved to the Brookfield area by the zoo!

Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $43,000 Long term rental duplex with two 2/1 units 5 minutes from zoo.

The ape house at the zoo his habitable to something.  

Right now I’m looking into:Fox ChaseCedar ParkOverbrookThe Zoo area (near Fairmount Park)If you’ve used NACA or house hacked in Philadelphia, I’d love to hear:How your approval changed when you moved from 1–2 units to 3–4 units.Any tips for getting the best deal in these neighborhoods.General lessons learned from your first Philly house hack — especially around tenant screening, PMs, or local zoning quirks.I’m in this for the long game and ready to move when the timing’s right.Thanks in advance,Andre

@Conor Kelly What about a duplex like this near the zoo: 7315 Cleveland Ave, Kansas City, MO 64132?

How’s How’s North Bridgeport area by the zoo?

There are a few up and coming neighborhoods near the Copley road/downtown area where a developer is building new inner city homes just north of the zoo.

It's a social expectation in Minnesota that there is jogging/walking trails, ample sidewalks, well lit streets, playgrounds and parks in EVERY neighborhood, free zoo's, free beaches galore.......There is a reason why Minnesota is a TOP tourism state, and Minnesota invests wisely into it very heavily. 

100% nightmare tenant that will likely get surprise roommates and a zoo of unauthorized pets while they live there and then claim "oh I didn't know that was against the rules".

In Akron, there are 'A' properties in 'D-' neighborhoods (over by the zoo) where builders build affordable housing.
