@Caroline KnightI don't know the Chicago market but I'm highly supportive of house hacking.One thing to remember that positive cash flow isn't actually the goal of a house hack. 

you’re on the right track. just hang around this website & when you’re old enough go ahead & pay for membership at ur local real estate investor group in ur city- every city has one. google it. whatever you do start saving mad cash & get good credit. work hard, save the money & house hack. get a 2-4 multiple fam when you graduate high school with ur saved cash & good credit.
