Anyone knows if any builders sell new homes to investors? Lennar used to do that, but now they don’t. I plan to buy a new SFH for investment when it’s approaching the year end, but looks like most builders don’t sell to investors.

How do they know you’re an investor?

When filling out a loan application, they will ask if you are looking for a primary or an investment. The application also asks if you have other properties.

I am looking into buying a multi unit (dullex,triplex,quad) in Chicago ideally in Lakeview East/West, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Logan Square, Bucktown areas.

This will be my first property and planning on living in one of the units. Downpayment will come from what I have in stock market but wondering if anyone has any models to how to analyze if it would be a good investment property. Would appreciate any help? First in family to get into something like this.

Some figures to consider for current house - 299k purchase price, 240k left on mortgage, could prob rent for 2250-2500/month, or sell for 375k. It’s in a desired school district, but in the “city” tax district.

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
