We like living in this neighborhood and plan on staying for at least another 5 years. 

The key to success is understanding the nuances of the market—different neighborhoods perform very differently, and having a strong team on the ground is essential.If you’re interested, I’m happy to share some resources on investing in Detroit and what makes it work for BRRRR.

That probably doesn't work well for rents, and the neighborhood will look beat up in 10 years, when almost every house got sold to investors.  

Portage Park is definitely a prime-time Chicago neighborhood @Delroy Watson! 

One thing I will say there is a shortage of is properties that accept a pet (single pet, ie 1 dog)You will see a lot of manufactured housing on this corridor, but there are some older homes needing updates since the parent or grandparent had just passed (just toured a great one that sold for $219k in a week (cash) that was massive but my buyer was afraid of the work & it was easy fix and flip)As I mentioned below, I'm very curious to your style-what makes the right deal for you?

Also, hyperfocus helps me find a home with the right conditions - a stable but increasing-value neighborhood.

Seems like the only neighborhoods where FHA is even a possibility is cypress hills / east New York or east Flatbush, among other further out areas I don't really want to live in.

For a while I looked into medium size deals like 30-50 units in class B neighborhoods, but ultimately could not negotiate a deal to the point where it would have made financial sense.

so the software that I use, "can" see inside the house by comparing photo between pre-flip and after-flip from house in particular neighborhood.

house hack in some sort of fashion.Either buy a duplex or large single family that you can rent out a room/side of the houseOr buy a fixer upper in the best neighborhood you can afford.
