I'm closing in on a deal on a 4-flat in Chicago and am wondering if anyone has had recent appraisals and can tell me what GRM the appraiser has used in their income approach.

When looking at a house hack I look at two basic financial ideas:While you owner occupy the property, will it significantly reduce your cost of housing (ideally eliminating it altogether)? 

We've identified one we like - it's a pretty standard 2 flat. 

If there are not two separate entrances to each unit, ask the listing agent if it is a legal 2-flat or if there is a non-conforming unit/some other situation. 

This will give you a good idea of what you’ll run into if you decide to invest somewhere.Seeing houses in that price range on the MLS means you won’t have a hard time finding deals where you can meet or beat the 1% rule, especially off market.3 - Flat Population CurveI want you in markets where the population is neither growing or declining.

I currently work as a financial analyst at a large tech company and I just bought my first house hack-- a four flat in Belmont Cragin.

I signed up the fsbo online service for a flat fee and they provide a offer letter review for $100.

We are in negotiation on a 2 flat in Chicagoland and are really nervous! 

Bonus would be an ADU/granny flat for the grandparents when they come to visit. 2.

Currently rehabbing a two-flat on the NW side and a recommendation would be helpful!
