Seeking Investor or Private Lending Partner for 2-Flat Fix & Rent Opportunity

[Lasparkle Hopkins]

My name is LaSparkle Hopkins, and I’m an aspiring real estate investor based in Chicago, IL. I’m actively seeking financing or a partnership opportunity for a highly promising off-market deal in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, which is undergoing revitalization and has strong rental demand.

Here are the details of the opportunity:

Property Info:

• Type: 2-Flat Multi-Family w/ Unfinished Basement
• Location: Auburn Gresham, Chicago, IL
• Purchase Price: $100,000 (off-market deal – seller is a personal contact and motivated to sell)
• Condition: Needs renovation — ideal for value-add
• Exit Strategy: Fix, Rent, and Refinance (BRRRR Method)

My Profile:

• Credit Score: Mid-600s
• Experience: While I do not yet have completed flips under my belt, I am working closely with licensed contractors and real estate professionals to ensure the project’s success.
• Commitment: I have a clear rehab and rent plan, strong knowledge of the market, and am looking to scale in multi-family investing.

What I’m Looking For:

• A private money lender or investor open to financing the acquisition and rehab.
• Open to equity sharing, interest-only short-term terms, or a JV (joint venture) structure with a defined exit.
• I’m also open to mentorship-based partnerships where both parties benefit.

Auburn Gresham is one of Chicago’s next hot rental markets, and I would love to collaborate with someone who believes in community revitalization and solid returns.

Please feel free to DM me or respond below if you're interested in learning more. I'd be happy to share my full scope of work, projected ARV, and rental comps.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi @Lasparkle Hopkins!

Your opportunity in Auburn Gresham sounds like it could be very lucrative - particularly that you've sourced this entirely off-market with no competition from other investors. ;)

Thanks so much @Jonathan Klemm for the shout-out!

While this particular deal may not be quite the right fit for my direct lending at this stage (I typically partner with investors who have a few projects under their belt), I'm genuinely happy to connect for a brief chat. Perhaps I can offer some general insights or maybe even connect you with someone whose focus aligns better with a first-time BRRRR project like yours.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like to talk!

Kindly,

Jennie Berger
