3 flat in Chicago

Madeline Walsh
Posted

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $330,000
Cash invested: $15,000

Legal 3 Flat (that was not for sure in the beginning). FHA BRR/house hacking. Potentially turning into section 8 if there is tenant turnover. I would love to have a section 8 empire. Next move is New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut 3 flat then an office building.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

I had to go through one eviction in the beginning, which is potentially why he was selling the property. However, there are no 3 flats that cost that low in Chicago. Crime in the area is not the best but it is close to Humbolt Park downtown, Garfield Park Conservatory, the 606, etc.

@Madeline Walsh Just a note to say we're here in Chicago if you need boots on the ground! I'm not sure exactly where you are located, but you've made a great connection here with @Jonathan Klemm if you need contractor help. Best of luck to you working through the renovations - if you need any design advice, feel free to reach out!
