Experience

I have been active in real estate for over twenty
years.While i had no formal education,my relatives owned and managed property all over
the Chicagoland area.So i started from he ground up janitorial,cutting grass, painting,etc.
Purchasing my first home is what ignited a desire
to learn the purchasing aspect of the business.
Along with my home i purchased several other
properties and assisted family members with the
purchase of theirs,12 in all.So after 25 years as
a plant manager and retiring early i decided to
do deals full time.Had i known the enjoyment
i got out of real estate i would have taken a
different career path

Real Estate Goals

I am in the process of training my children and
continuing my education as well,to purchase
property,establish a family business.We intend to
train individuals to do the same perhaps with an
501c3 entity.We believe in giving back and we
believe that creating jobs is the best way to do it.

Currently Seeking

I am currently looking for sub-2 property and
also for a company or individual to donate a
building for the training program we are in the
process of establishing

Thanks for the add. You're not too far from me. I might look into Chicago some, a lot more opportunities up there, especially in multi-family! Have a great weekend!

Hi Joshua,I am a newbie,and i am just getting started so what you see is all there is for now.I do however have a question and would very much appreciate you insight.My wife and i decided to start our careers by first eliminating our rental expense.We are in the process of renting to own or lease option.My question is ,can we re-fi the property after we agree to terms and that language is in the contract.Thanks again Josh and God Bless i am very appreciative of you taking the time to help........Charles and Mattie
