Hi guys, I'm looking at buying my first multifamily in the US, I've found some nice new construction properties in the Independence Heights area of Houston Texas (around $500K).

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment in Rowland Heights.

- the property is based in Garfield Heights - and that my property tax will be much higher.More details: https://brickbear.ai/share/deal/1/583 Focus on the ARV + your all in as well.

I have about 250k USD to allocate to this venture, but I may want to dip my toes into the market with a single-family residence in an area like Parma Heights and test the waters.

Here's the City link for you to reference. https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/doh/provdrs/homeowners...1) ADU regulations specifically exclude Short-Term Rentals so don't do it if the intention is to short-term rental. 2) The ceiling height oh 6'10" is almost guaranteed to trigger digging a basement if you want to formalize as an ADU unit, especially if that height is further reduced by pipes or HVAC. 3)Ingress/egress is an issue for renting, as is that any bedroom also will need two (ie operable window/doorway).

Does anyone have recommendations for good, reasonably priced countertop installers/fabricators who do work in the north/northwest suburbs of Chicago, specifically around Prospect Heights?

Here are pockets I focus on for cash flow:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), BedfordHere are the areas that I focus on for appreciation:West side - Lakewood, Edgewater, Old Brooklyn, Ohio City, Tremont (above 490)East side - Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, FairfaxI have a graded neighborhood map of these areas as well if you would like to check it out.   

The window guideline also has a height restrictions, homes built hillside with a room on the lower level are not always considered bedrooms because if the window is too small for a fireman to get in , in case of a fire it doesn't comply with the guidelines.

Piedmont, Dimond District, and Redwood Heights are my picks.
