Newbie from Chicagoland Area

[Matthew Bomba]

Hello all! My name is Matt. I currently work in consulting for a public accounting firm in the City. I am turning 24 this year and am ready to move out of my parents house lol. My plan is to buy a house hack property in the Chicagoland area. Ultimately, building my real estate portfolio over the years. I would love to connect with people in the area or others who have house hacked in the past. I am trying to learn as much as possible, so all tips/tricks dos/donts are welcomed and appreciated!
