I’ve personally house hacked in the Irving park neighborhood in Chicago with a multifamily so not completely relatable experience to what you’re looking to do but hopefully can provide a few insights.If you go with the suburbs in a SFH, you could rent by the room and presumably increase cash flow.

@Fiona Layne-GerminBeginner-friendly strategies for building long-term wealth include house hacking, buy and hold rentals, BRRRR Method, real estate syndicatations, rent-by-the-room strategy, short-term or mid-term rentals, and partnering with experienced investors.

Renting by room can be tricky and is why a lot of PMs try avoiding it.

A good rule of thumb is to clean high-traffic areas like hallways, staircases, and laundry rooms at least once a week.

You want one with plenty of room to land and turn around while another plane takes off.

By the room leases are 10x more the work IMO.
