I don't know Accessible CLG, but can say that we have rented to groups like this and have not had a problem.We have also rented to corporations who have people live there for only a few weeks at a time. 

Because of this I didn’t state any potential returns… there are too many variables.. would my partner want to live in a unit and run the property themselves and do short term rental?  

If you are purchasing that MF property for $1 mil then you can use the 3 units as your replacment for the 1031 exchange ($750K of value) and live in the last unit ($250K of value).An awesome way to house hack your way up!!! 

As long as you're prepared to be a landlord and live next to your tenant for at least a year, house hacking is a great way to get started.

Various other societies have more or less income and living inequality but none can counteract human nature, which is why some form of capitalism is inevitable.3.

@An Lan I’ve lived in many cities where overseas investors do this.

But it’s clear you’re a smart investor who knows the long-term benefits real estate can bring.I keep reminding myself why I stick with real estate: you can make money every month in four different ways:Cash Flow – Passive income to live on.Appreciation – Long-term property value growth.Depreciation – Tax benefits that reduce your taxable income.Tenants Paying Down the Mortgage – Even if you’re paid off now, this is one of the biggest wealth-building tools for leveraged properties.It sounds like your main struggle is the stress of active management—and trust me, you’re not alone.

Any person over 18 should go through the tenant screening if they are living there...they don't necessarily need to be on the lease, but there is another area on the Chicago Association of Realtor's lease to add occupants.

The state that I live in is also not landlord friendly.  

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.
