My name is Jaclyn Gallagher, and my husband and I just started a real estate investment company based in the northern suburbs. With a background in sales and a lifelong fascination with real estate, I decided to create a company that allows me to combine my passions while providing more time freedom for my growing family. We specialize in single-family and multi-family, fix and flips. My goal here is to forge strong connections within the industry and work collaboratively to learn from each others mistakes to ultimately achieve success. I'm always open to discussing potential deals, mentorships, and networking opportunities. Please don't hesitate to reach out – I look forward to connecting with you!
Hi Jaclyn! It's so great to connect with another mama balancing motherhood and real estate! I love that you're combining your sales background with your passion for real estate, that's exactly what sparked my own journey nearly a decade ago. My husband and I also invest together (we've added 21 doors just in the past 2 years!), and we specialize in BRRRR, small multis, and creative financing strategies.
It’s inspiring to see couples stepping into this space with purpose and a desire for time freedom, something I’m deeply passionate about too. I now focus on helping others build wealth through real estate with little to no capital, and I love sharing the highs, lows, and lessons along the way.
Would love to stay connected and collaborate however we can, there’s so much power in community and learning from one another. Definitely give me a follow back so we can support each other’s journeys!
I'd love to hear more about your practice! I've helped clients through many fix-and-flip deals, mostly in Chicago. I also work as a general contractor for my own fix-up projects, some flips, and some long-term holds. Congrats on the start of an incredible family business!
Congratulations, and best of luck on the exciting endeavor. I am a Chicago based lender, broker, investor and would be glad to connect and discuss opportunities. Feel free to add me as a connection.

Welcome! Always a good idea to connect and learn from others mistakes I have made plenty doing my own remodel projects, and have paid for it with money out of my own pocket lol.
Hey Hey @Danny Gallagher - Welcome to join the real estate club of greater Chicago area! Congrats on making the decision and putting yourself out there - not an easy thing to do!
Just so I understand, you and your husband are starting a real estate business and plan to flip properties for the company's primary source of income? What area are you planning to flip in?
Where exactly is the business right now and what is your next step?

Hey Jaclyn – welcome! Love that you’re combining your passion for real estate with the goal of more time freedom for your family—that’s the dream! I'm based in Chicago and work with investors all over the city and suburbs, especially on multi-family, fix and flip, and house hacking projects.
Would definitely be open to chatting deals, sharing resources, or just connecting to swap lessons learned along the way. Let’s keep the conversation going and see how we can collaborate! 👏 #LETSGO
Hey Jacky! 👋🏽 That sounds so exciting and I am happy to hear that you took the leap of faith and created your own real estate company. How many deals have you done already and where are you looking to do more of them?
