House hacking in Chicago

[Robert Regis]

Has anyone bought a property or house hacked with the Express purpose of just lowering your monthly mortgage payment? I live in Chicago and there isnt much, if anything that seems to cash flow positively. It seems like the best bet would be to buy a property and have some of the tenants pay as much if the mortgage as they can. I am wondering if anyone does this as their goal. With a lower mortgage payment you can still save more money, so just curious.
