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

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).

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.

We had to analyze and dissect every piece to determine "fact" or "fiction" and corroborate each number on behalf of our soon-to-be-formed investor group.

., the word I'm getting is, they had to go Pulp Fiction on her with the Narcan if you catch my drift.

College student as well as rookie to investing here. Looking to connect with local real estate agents or investors in the area. I would love to be surrounded by like-minded individuals. Feel free to drop any advice or...

A realtor for the sale of your asset, a DST broker for the DST (preferably one with extensive real estate not just SEC compliance experience), a mineral rights broker (totally different industry than DSTs), a CPA to keep your tax picture clean, and a QI to make sure the 1031 is completed correctly.It truly does take a village.
