Not to mention, asbestos siding that would not have been an issue, is an issue as that also has a massive hole in it.

I think it'll come down to (as you mentioned) buying the next deal correctly.

I recommend MTM because you can easily do any of the options you mentioned.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Might make sense to keep it if you have super low interest rate and around 2000sqft or less.Some great groups have been mentioned here, but be careful who you meet with. 

Why will likely determine how because if you are looking for cashflow vs. appreciation vs. quick capitalHow could it be househacking, brrrr, flip, long term -> You mentioned BRRRR, which is an awesome strategy but will only work in specific sectors of Chicagoland. finding the perfect brrrr in the current environment is extremely tough!
