@Arturo Colmenero you could try referencing zoning maps to look for multi family pockets but your best bet would be to subscribe to a service like Reonomy for example if you’re serious about finding multi family properties

Hi @Zach Schnoebelen, welcome to Chicago :) My suggestion is Berwyn - it's a suburb on the near southwest side that is still serviced by our commuter train, the Metra, which can take you downtown in <30 minutes.

All they normally have to do is prove that they are not the ones that are servicing the loan anymore which would be similar to a rental property, however they should not say that it is a rental property.

Thank you for your service...What exactly are you initially thinking about doing?

I'm thinking:  recent law updates, handling specific tenant issues, when to raise the rent,  service/companion animals, vs pets;    Specific ideas would be best.   

What are the must haves and what would be a nice little extra service?

It's already the 4th geekiest city in the country with all of the smart people working for NASA & the private sector engineers servicing NASA. 

Yuriy,Are you happy with the service they provide?

So long as its the same line of work and you don't have declining income from your most recent year versus the previous year by more than 20%, the lender will do a 24 month average of your income and count it in that way.
