Hey all!
My name is Tito and I am new to the BiggerPockets community. I am new to real estate investing and am currently looking to house hack my first multi-unit near my current home and where I grew up on the south side of Chicago.
My goals are more geared toward buy & hold / rehab & flip.
I think that REI can not only be good for investing and business interests, but can also help in revitalization of communities that have been in need of love for quite some time now.
I look forward to meeting likeminded individuals and learning as I continue my journey.

Alex Bok yes that's the goal, but I've been analyzing a few duplex deals where I could still cash flow decently if bought at the right price.
James Wise thank you, sir.

ideally i'd like to stay near my home neighborhood of Calumet Heights. My other tops are Chatham, South Shore, and Woodlawn. I'm a native south sider so I'm very fluent in the areas. The south side can be completely different block by block so I think it's important to have some background in the area.
