I have a client that built a carriage house in a historic neighborhood called victorian village. and he did it for less than $50k when he had quotes well into the $125k range.

"It takes a village to raise a child" there are adult children.

The challenges we found were that:Even in a great town like Greenwich (Fairfield in your case) the multifamilies are in neighborhoods that were not desirable, at least not now that we have kids.Multifamilies are expensive in an expensive town.

I'm set on these three areas because I feel like their great or soon-to-be-great neighborhoods where I can purchase/rehab/construct a property for a decent price while enjoying the higher rental incomes you see in Logan Square or Ukrainian Village (give or take).

But, you'll get there.SOLUTION: 1) Join a local Real Estate Investment Group * Here is one: Holiday Inn Virginia Beach Norfolk Hotel and Conference Center 5655 Greenwich Road Virginia Beach VA 23462 Meeting Time: Third Tuesday, 7pm-9pm doors open at 6:30 Contact Information: Luke Kohne*800*874*49762) Contact them and get involved (or ask for one located near where you are) 3) Ask everyone you run into there if they are willing to let you work with them to learn the trade - at this point I'd work for free - earn their respect - it will pay dividends - you will learn a lot of what you need to know4) Check out Bigger Pockets and Youtube and learn everything you can on "Subject To", "Lease Options", "Wraps", and "Land Contracts" - Now, that may sound intimidating, but hey, you wrote Term Papers didn't you?

My plan as of right now is to house hack with a multi-family property, and make the initial down payment on the property with an FHA loan.I am questioning if this is the right strategy, or if I should begin my real estate journey with a single family property, given that I have been able to find less expensive property which will allow me to invest more capital in renovations.Neighborhoods I am looking to invest in are Logan square, humboldt park, Ukrainian village, Avondale and Pilsen.

It's technically in South Lawndale (not North Lawndale, the scary Lawndale) which is now called Little Village.

When I was house hunting I considered homes in East Flatbush, Canarsie, Remsen Village, Cypress Hills, and East New York.
