The best thing I would recommend is getting a duplex near a dog park that way you're not sacrificing way too much.

I truly believe the powers that be are trying to make the US into a renters nation. 

After August 17th they are now required nationally if the agent falls into 1 of 2 categories.

When I joined initially as a first time real estate agent back in 2019, I went under Keller Williams in Orland Park, and then I moved to eXp and I just recently joined Epique Realty.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

According to the National Association of Realtors' Code of Ethics, realtors must avoid concealment of pertinent facts and should not misrepresent the condition of the property.

Noted on the units too, ideally a nice 4plex would be the best case scenario but as you mentioned anything is better from a financial perspective than paying the amount in rent I am currently.This market could cash flow pretty well at 20% down if i find the right property as the prices are below national average and rents are actually fairly good in comparison to property prices (plenty of 1% opportunites on SFH with a minimal cosmetic TLC).
