Quote from @Braeden Warg: The right way to do it is to contact the city and ask them.

However, what is far more important for financial freedom is the location/city where you invest.The city where you invest is far more important than the current interest rate.

So the likes of University Circle, Ohio City, Tremont, Edgewater, and some parts of Lakewood are a good starting base. 

. - You can get more units in the City of Detroit, but you will need to understand the City's demographics or you'll get taken advantage of.City of Detroit has 183+ residential Neighborhoods.

Our city holds a lot of hidden gems.

We only knew of 2 adults 2 kids and unit occupancy is only 4 per the city.

I used to live in the city and the taxes and water bills are nightmares.

We simply include the tax on the invoice sent to guests, which makes it easier to track and ensures we're covered for tax purposes at the end of the year.For Chicago, I’d recommend checking directly with the city’s tax office or a CPA, but generally, you’ll need to register with the city, collect the hotel tax from guests, and remit it on a regular schedule (likely monthly or quarterly).

You'll find more 2-5 units in some of the older parts of our city right outside downtown.
