Hi! New Investor considering section 8.
Hi, I've been living in the Chicagoland Area for 4 years now and am considering investing here. Currently living in Bridgeport and was trying to find a multifamily to house hack, but most seem to be too expensive with the property tax here. I was also looking into renting in Section 8 because there are some potential units in East Side, Chicago and both Bridgeport and East Side are considered "mobility areas" for section 8 which has added benefits for Section 8 landlords.
I'd like to network with others in the area and learn about any experiences you guys have had with investing in Chicago and learn more about Section 8. I look forward to learning and hearing from all of you!
