Chicago Condo Investment

[Vence Malicdem]

Hello! New here on BP forum. I was just hoping to get some advice regarding buying a Chicago condo as a buy-and-hold investment and a future rental property. I’ve been renting for a while now, and I want to start paying for my own mortgage as opposed to my someone else’s. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means and time to do multi-family units at this time. I plan to live in the condo for a few years and then rent it out afterwards. Looking into West Town, Univ Village, and South Loop. I have too many questions, so I guess any advice on how the search, what to ask my realtor, and the analysis process is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
