Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a condo in Chicago and use it as my primary residence but also rent out the additional rooms to roommates.

Maybe a roommate for income or another person who needs care could rent a room and you have people come in?

A big house attracts renters with lots of roommates, which is difficult to have subletting and also hard on the house. 

I have a mother-daughter roommate situation in one of my units.

One night a group of guys entered the door and gang raped her and her roommates.

., less money down) to buy a single-unit property and have roommates pay you rent than to buy a multi-unit property. 

Seldom get that long a renter without children involved (i.e. roommates, young couples, etc.).I would put in a bathtub if the unit only has a single bathroom.Good luck

Real Estate Agent - I knew what number would work for my monthly mortgage with two roommates I had already selected so we used that number and worked backwards How did you finance this deal?

I've got one person lined up to move in August 1st but she'll need a roommate to split the rent with.

Downtown it will be roommates not so much families.... so 2 beds 2 baths with bedrooms and bathrooms the same size with closets between bedrooms is appreciated by my tenants.
