Howdy from Chicago! - Joe C.

Hello everyone, long time listener, first time poster! After a year of listening to Scott and Mindy on the 'money' podcast after the great recommendation from my little brother, I have finally gotten over the mental hurdle and decided I want to commit to this house hacking strategy and would love to purchase my first property before the end of 2020.

I live in Chicago, IL and work as a chiropractor. My student loans are fairly significant, and I would love to implement the House Hacking / Flipping strategy to minimize my spending in this expensive city. Ideally, I'd love to find something in the northern neighborhoods close to an 'L' station. 3-4 bedrooms, specifically. 

Any tips or suggestions from anyone, especially those in the Chicago area as I start this journey would be much appreciated! I've got of questions and would love any help this community has to offer.

Thanks in advance!

Joe C.
