@Jonathan Klemm thanks for the mention@Ali Farhat Jonathan is correct that you may still have some opportunity depending on the Zoning designation for the lot, and how many existing units are Legally Recognized by the City.You can Check the Zoning Designation here on the Chicago Zoning MapFrom there, you need to check the requirements for your lot based on the Chicago Zoning Ordinance (Note: RS-3 does not mean 3 Units.

I've been educating myself through books and podcasts on topics like sourcing off-market deals, deal and property analysis, creative financing, and title reviews.My fiancé is an architect that works with GC's and structural engineers to design homes ensuring they are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and safe- which I hope will help me navigate this space as I grow my knowledge.
