Does anyone know what the minimum lot size requirement is to build a single family house in the Chicago land area?

The location is on a block with majority single family homes and close to transportation.  

If not considering a 1031, there is a small capital gain, already taking into consideration $250k (single tax payer) if I prorate the 1031 portion, does it mean that the capital gain will be higher if I prorate the rental portion?

I just found out that my in-laws have been renting a 5bdrm single family home that does not cash flow.

A single bed in a hostel here in town runs between $11 to $20 per night, depending on the location and attractiveness of the property.

It came up on Zillow, in a mostly single family neighborhood.

I’m looking to buy my first single family home or even maybe a duplex in the next 6 months (doing seller financing) I want to find the best real estate attorney that works best for me in advance.

We have prior experience flipping and leasing Single Family houses but new to apartment buildings.

Now there are no more 0% interest balance transfer offers available from one of my banks.Earlier this year with the help of my “Core 4” team on the ground (see David Greene’s awesome book Long Distance Real Estate Investing), I bought a single family rental property in Indianapolis, IN while living in NJ.

I planned on steering clear of the single family route, but planned on house hacking as soon as I graduated with a 3-4 family using the BRRRR strategy, and I'd like to repeat that for at least a few years, using FHA loans and refinancing at the end of each year to get a few cash flowing properties under my belt.
