Househacking in Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, or Montgomery

[Brendan Moehn]

I am looking to purchase a small multi-family property in Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, or Montgomery in order to househack.

One unit would need at least 3 bedrooms w/ preferrably 1300+ sq/ft.

Any help finding a similar property or if anybody knows a realtor that specializes in these types of properties it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brendan:

Just be aware that Aurora does inspections of all rental properties,  charges you for it ($75 a year per property),  and then fines you for tiny things like a non-working outlet or animals not being registered with the city.  Not a deal breaker but important to know.  Naperville is considering adopting the same program.  I know two Naperville houses (not MF,  SF) where the owner was living in one br and renting the others.  Violated zoning and Naperville shut them down.
