Starting off and I'm looking for multi units to house hack

[Naeem Barbour]

So I've been getting some really good advice on BP. My plans are to house hack for now to start off. My concern is I'm in Chicago and I see  a lot of low cost 2 flat and 3 flat buildings in the west side area or areas still rough. I get I'm not going to get the best unit in the best neighborhoods at a pretty low cost but my thing is the tenants. I don't want to manage them right now. What are some ways to find good tenants in a neighborhood that might be rough? And how do I go about the managing aspect of it since I'm new? My father owns 3 town house units in Hazel Crest, IL and he has had pretty bad tenants and he constantly is fixing something they broke by himself. This is the complete opposite of what I want.
