I am biased however, since my wife and I bought a 2-flat here in April.

I find that areas in my desired markets zoned for 2-4 flats are being driven up by first-time home buyers looking to be saavy and "house hack".I love the idea, definitely a fan of the theory!!

Some states are just flat out really expensive to get insurance no matter what kind of coverage you get so I can't help you there.

It can make assumptions (like flat 50% operating expenses, based on rent), or you can itemize each cost.

If you don't want to pay a month's compensation of rent, use a flat fee MLS broker.

@Tony MaiIt was necessary because it's a flat roof and access is limited.

I've kinda gotten the vibe from the tenants that they are happy with the current situation and probably wouldn't like a 3rd person but I haven't asked them flat out.

I can hang drywall on vertical walls but I don't have the tools or skill to hang ceiling drywall or build rafters to make the ceiling flat.

I noticed that the price/revenue per month here is flat.

Chicago has an outstanding housing stock that consists of duplexes, triplexes, and quads(or two flats, three flats, and four flats as we call them here).
