However, I have a few concerns:Pros:Living condition: 1400 sqft → 1700 sqft with some boutique featuresThe rental market seems good in this area.Another property is added to my existing real estate portfolio, which currently includes two other properties.Cons:Interest rate: 7% - No guarantee of decreasing the rate, which means there might be no opportunity for refinancing in the future.The current home is too new to be rented out.People often say not to buy property in Chicago due to high taxes and low appreciation.There’s no necessity of moving since I have a decent primary home.Any professional advice would be helpful.
