Explore Financing OptionsChicago offers excellent financing opportunities for house hackers.

You can target value-add deals (BRRRR, rehab, house-hacking), explore short/mid-term rentals, or expand to secondary markets like Ocala, Lakeland, or Jacksonville.

Some lenders offer creative solutions, like a cross-collateralized loan, where they use your existing equity as security without refinancing the duplex.Another idea is partnering with private lenders or exploring a second-position mortgage, depending on your lender's terms.

These options often come with their own set of challenges, but they’re worth exploring if you’re willing to get a bit creative.In short, it’s not easy, but with the right strategy and persistence, it’s doable!

With the equity you’ve built and the cash you have, you could also explore a HELOC or refinancing to open up more opportunities.

Additionally, timing the sale in a lower-income year or exploring potential deductions could further reduce your tax liability.

Our clients include many out-of-state and international investors.I’d recommend keeping an open mind about exploring opportunities in the surrounding cities near Indianapolis as well.
