First Time House Hacker in Chicago
I currently live in Chicago and I want to get started with real estate investing, specifically house hacking. Does anyone familiar with the area have any tips on getting started? Mostly I want to know more about how to find a good deal. Would it be better to find a cheap place and fix it up, or should I find a place that's in decent condition already? Once I find a place, what's the best way to find tenants? Any advice would be appreciated!
